PREFACE 

In  editing  a  book  of  the  character  of  the  present  publication  we 
believe  that  a  long-felt  want  of  the  college  has  been  met.  Tufts  has 
reached  that  point  in  her  history  where  the  many  traditions  and  events  of 
student  life  and  activities  should  be  suitably  recorded,  and  we  hope  that  the 
book  has  fulfilled  these  conditions;  that  it  will  not  only  awaken  fond 
memories  of  former  days,  but  also  inspire  all  with  the  hope  of  future 
accomplishment. 

To  the  members  of  the  Facultv,  Alumni  and  undergraduates,  and 
especially  to  the  photographers  who  have  assisted  us  in  our  efforts,  we  wish 
to  express  our  sincere  gratitude.

A  ijtatonj  of  uhtfts  (Enlleg? 


E  who  today  visits  College  Hill  and  strolls  along  the  well  kept  paths,  or 
beneath  the  shade  of  the  trees  which  dot  the  campus,  watching  the  squirrels 
at  play  in  the  chequered  shade,  would  scarcely  realise  that  hardly  more  than 
half  a  century  ago  this  beautiful  spot  was  a  bare  and  wind-swept  hill. 

It  was  early  in  the  year  of  1847  that  Tufts  College  was  first  talked  of. 
Several  members  of  the  Universalist  denomination  raised  the  question  as  to  whether  the 
church  did  uot  need  a  college  connected  with  it,  to  which  youths  of  Universalist  families 
could  be  sent.  In  those  days  proselyting  among  schools  and  colleges  was  much  more 
common  than  in  our  own  time,  and  this  fact  was  a  sharp  incentive  to  those  of  the 
Universalist  faith  who  entertained  this  idea.  General  sentiment  was  aroused,  and  pre- 
paring for  action,  when  in  the  spring  of  1X47  Rev.  Thomas  J.  Sawyer  of  New  York  opened 
correspondence  with  Rev.  Hosea  Ballou,  2nd,  of  Medford,  Mass.,  and  Rev.  Thomas  Whitte- 
more  of  Cambridgeport,  Mass.,  editor  of  the  Universalist  magazine,  the  "Trumpet."  The 
result  of  this  correspondence  was  the  issuing  of  a  circular  calling  for  an  educational 
convention  to  meet  in  New  York  on  the  18th  of  the  following  May. 

Great  interest  was  eviuced,  and  the  convention  was  largely  attended.  The  Rev. 
Hosea  Ballou,  2nd,  opened  the  meeting  and  the  question  discussed  was  :  1,  Do  Universalists 
need  a  college,  and  2,  Shall  an  effort  be  made  to  answer  the  wants  of  the  denomination 
by  the  founding  of  a  college  ?     Both  these  resolutions   were  unanimously  adopted.     It   is 


FESTIVAL 
At  the  Dedication  of  Tufts  College,  August  22,  1S55 


interesting  to  note  that  the  site  talked  of  at  the  time  was  in  the  valley  of  the  Hudson  or 
Mohawk  rivers.  The  reason  for  this  was  that  many  entertained  the  idea  of  making  the 
Clinton  Liberal  Institute  a  basis  for  a  new  college.  However,  the  selection  of  the  site  was 
left  to  a  board  of  trustees  elected  at  this  meeting,  consisting  of  the  following  members  :  the 
Rev.  Calvin  Gardner,  J.  Burley,  Eli  Ballou,  B.  B.  Mussey,  the  Rev.  Thomas  Whitte- 
more,  the  Rev.  J.  T.  Greenwood,  Dr.  Jacob  Henson,  the  Rev.  S.  R.  Smith,  T.  J.  Sawyer,  and 
Dolphus  Skinner,  B.  Ellis,  Esq.,  and  Josiah  Bartlett,  Esq  ,  of  New  York,  Col.  J.  Kingsbury, 
Elijah  Dallet  and  Dr.  E.  Crosby. 

It  was  then  generally  agreed  that  the  college  could  not  be  founded  unless  the  sum  of 
$100,000  could  be  raised.  Agents  were  appointed  to  solicit  funds,  it  being  the  idea  that 
all  the  pledges  should  be  binding  when  the  sum  of  $100,000  should  be  pledged.  Report  was 
to  be  made  at  the  General  Convention. 

The  General  Convention  assembled  on  Sept.  14,  1847.  On  the  morning  of  the  15th 
Dr.  Ballou  preached  on  the  text  "  Unto  whomsoever  much  is  given,  of  him  shall  much  be 
required."  In  his  speech  the  doctor  made  a  very  powerful  and  impassioned  plea  for  educa- 
tion which  profoundly  moved  all  present.  On  the  following  Friday,  at  a  meeting  of  the 
Educational  Convention,  it  was  voted  to  rescind  the  vote  appointing  two  or  more  agents 
to  solicit  funds  and  put  it  in  the  sole  charge  of  one  man,  and  this  duty  was  entrusted  to 
the  Rev.  Otis  A.  Skinner.  To  this  man's  devotion  and  disinterestedness  all  sons  of  Tufts 
should  be  grateful.  It  was  a  peculiarly  trying  and  arduous  undertaking,  in  a  time  when 
money  was  scarce,  and  in  a  cause  which  many  deemed  visionary.  He  visited  Universalists 
all  over  the  country,  and  was  so  successful  that  on  April  21,  1851,  he  gave  notice  that  he 
should  begin  to  collect  the  amount  subscribed.  Death  and  failure  had  somewhat  reduced 
14 


the  amount,  but  in  all  $97,000  was  pledged  and  Dr.  Skinner  generously  gave  the  remaining 
$3,000  from  his  own  pocket,  and  the  existence  of  the  college  became  an  assured  fact. 

On  the  19-20  of  November,  1851,  the  trustees  met  and  elected  the  following  officers  : 
President,  the  Rev.  T.  J.  Sawyer  of  Clinton,  N.  Y.  ;  Treasurer,  B.  B.  Mussey  of  Boston  ; 
Secretary,  the  Rev.  O.  A.  Skinner  of  Boston.  It  was  now  reported  that  the  amount  avail- 
able considerably  exceeded  the  requisite  $100,000  and  this  cheered  and  encouraged  everyone. 

The  committee  on  location  reported  two  sites  ;  one,  on  Walnut  Hill,  Somerville,  on 
the  farm  of  Charles  Tufts,  and  the  other  in  Franklin,  Mass.,  on  land  owned  by  Oliver  Dean. 
In  connection  with  the  Walnut  Hill  site  is  told  a  story  which  has  always  remained  a  tradition 
of  the  College.  A  friend,  talking  one  day  with  Mr.  Tufts  as  to  what  he  intended  to  do  with 
the  bleak  and  wind-swept  height,  received  the  following  characteristic  reply  :  "  I  will  set  a 
light  on  it."  It  was  finally  agreed  that  the  site  offered  by  Mr.  Tufts  was  the  more  advan- 
tageous, and  the  gift  was  accepted.  Although  desiring  the  college  in  Franklin,  Mr.  Dean 
generously  supported  the  young  institution  and  also  founded  in  Franklin,  Dean  Academy, 
which  is  a  preparatory  school  for  Tufts.  After  the  acceptance  of  the  site  Mr.  Tufts  increased 
his  grant  of  land,  making  in  all  100  acres.  As  he  was  the  greatest  benefactor  of  the  young 
institution  it  received  his  name.  Soon  after,  Mr.  Timothy  Cotting  of  Medford  increased 
the  land  possessed  by  the  college  by  a  gift  of  20  acres.  Among  other  benefactors  of  the 
college  at  this  time  must  be  mentioned  Sylvanus  Packard,  of  Boston,  and  Thomas  Goddard. 
At  his  death  Oliver  Dean  generously  remembered  the  institution,  and  gave  largely  during 
his  life. 

The  charter  of  the  new  college  was  issued  April  15,  1852,  and  gave  the  right  to  confer 
all  degrees  except  that  of  M.  D.     This  was  amended  in  1867  to  include  that  degree.     At  a 


16 


TUFTS  COLLEGE,  i860 


trustee  meeting  held  July  21,  1852,  B.  B.  Mussey,  O.  A.  Skinner  and  Timothy  Cotting  were 
appointed  a  committee  on  building,  and  Hosea  Ballou,  2nd,  was  elected  the  first  president  of 
the  College.  The  labors  of  the  building  committee  resulted  in  the  erection  of  Ballou  Hall, 
the  first  college  building.  It  was  built  in  the  Italian  style,  of  brick,  trimmed  with  red 
sandstone,  and  on  the  23d  of  July,  1853,  with  appropriate  ceremonies,  President  Ballou  laid 
the  corner-stone.  The  day  was  one  of  rejoicing,  and  from  fifteen  hundred  to  two  thousand 
persons  were  present. 

The  opening  of  the  College  was  in  1855,  but  during  the  year  1854,  three  students  were 
on  the  hill  doing  special  work.  During  this  year  Dr.  Ballou  travelled  in  Europe,  preparing 
himself  for  the  labors  of  his  office.  The  first  examination  for  entrance  was  held  Saturday, 
August  18,  1855,  and  on  Wednesday,  August  22,  the  formal  opening  took  place. 

The  day  of  the  birth  of  the  college  into  the  world  of  letters  dawned  warm  and  fair. 
By  nine  o'clock  the  people  began  to  arrive,  and  long  before  the  appointed  hour  the  building 
was  thronged.  It  was  simply  impossible  to  give  seating  accommodations  to  the  immense 
crowd,  and  hundreds  could  not  even  get  into  the  building.  As  originally  planned,  Ballou 
Hall  contained  not  only  recitation  rooms,  but  dormitory  and  bathing  accommodations,  a 
chapel,"  a  library,  and  rooms  for  two  literary  societies.  How  odd  this  seems  to  us  now, 
who  have  so  many  buildings.  After  the  inaugural  address  by  President  Ballou,  dinner  was 
served.  Nine  hundred  plates  had  been  provided,  and  hundreds  who  tried  to  obtain  tickets 
had  to  be  refused.  After  the  feasting  Dr.  Ballou  announced  the  following  toast :  "  Charles 
Tufts,  the  venerable  founder  of  Tufts  College  ;  may  the  fruition  of  his  project  gladden  his 
heart  through  all  his  earthly  journey."  This  toast  was  answered  by  the  enthusiastic  cheers 
of  the  assembled  company.  The  following  toasts  were  also  responded  to:  "  The  founding  of 
18 


FROM   TOP  OF  BALLOU,  1S6S 


the  first  Universalist  college  in  the  world;  the  success  of  this  enterprise  must  be  as  gratifying 
to  the  numerous  donors  as  it  is  honorable  to  the  indefatigable  agent,  "by  Rev.  O.  A.  Skinner. 
"  Knowledge  is  Power,"  by  the  Rev.  E.  H.  Chapin  of  New  York.  The  fourth  toast  was  : 
"The  Tufts  College  Educational  Association,"  by  the  Rev.  A.  A.  Miner,  and  the  last: 
"  The  Treasurer  of  Tufts  College,"  by  B.  B.  Mussey,  Esq.  At  the  dinner  about  $4,000  was 
subscribed.  The  exercises  were  concluded  by  the  singing  of  "From  all  that  dwell  below 
the  skies,"  and  Tufts  was  fairly  launched  on  her  career  as  an  educational  institution.  Her 
founders  builded  better  than  they  knew,  and  laid  the  foundations  broad  and  deep  upon  which 
the  Tufts  of  today  has  been  reared.  All  honor  is  due  to  the  faithful  hearts  who  worked 
steadfastly  for  the  future,  and  founded  this  college  in  a  spirit  of  progression  which  has  led 
and  is  still  to  lead  it  to  greater  and  nobler  accomplishments. 

It  is  a  significant  fact  that  from  the  very  first  Tufts  College  gave  evidence  of  that 
broadness  of  teaching  which  has  since  characterized  it.  At  the  time  of  the  opening  of  the 
college,  History  was  not  recognized  as  a  subject  for  college  study,  and  under  President 
Ballou's  administration  the  course  given  in  history  was  not  equalled  by  any  other  institution 
in  the  country. 

During  President  Ballou's  incumbency  only  one  course  of  study  was  offered  —  that 
leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  and  the  larger  part  of  the  college  work  was  pre- 
scribed. Greek  and  Latin  were  required  for  two  years  and  a  half,  Mathematics  for  two 
years,  History  for  three  years,  and  Rhetoric  for  four  years.  The  work  in  modern  languages 
was  entirely  optional.  This  curriculum  offers  an  interesting  comparison  to  the  modern  col- 
lege curriculum,  with  its  large  number  of  elective  subjects.  When  Dr.  Ballon  died,  how- 
ever, there  was  no  one  to  whom  the  course  in  History  could  be  entrusted,  and  it  dropped  from 


COLLEGE   HILL   FROM   OLD    POWDER   HOUSE 


the  curriculum,  not  to  appear  again  for  more  than  thirty  years,  when  the  Department  of 
History  was  organized. 

The  first  catalog  of  the  College  was  issued  in  1854-55.  It  was  a  pamphlet  consisting 
of  about  sixteen  pages  and  showed  very  few  changes  in  the  curriculum,  the  principal  one 
being  the  extension  of  Mathematics  throughout  the  Junior  year. 

The  opening  of  this  year  of  1854-55  saw  the  first  Senior  class  in  Tufts  College.  Its 
work  included  Chemistry,  Intellectual  Philosophy,  Political  Economy,  Logic,  Forensics, 
Mineralogy  and  Geology,  Religion,  and  Rhetoric,  with  opportunity  for  the  election  of  modern 
languages.  In  the  years  following  a  tendency  to  progress  and  liberality  in  curriculum  can 
be  traced.  In  1857  Professor  Drew  resigned  and  A.  A.  Keene,  a  graduate  of  Harvard,  was 
appointed  Professor  of  Ancient  Languages  and  Classical  Literature.  In  i860  Dr.  Schneider 
was  appointed  Professor  of  the  Greek  Language  and  Literature. 

By  1856-57  the  number  of  students  rose  to  a  point  which  was  maintained  for  several 
years.  The  class  entering  in  1856  numbered  about  fifteen,  while  the  Sophomore  class  num- 
bered nineteen.  The  Junior  and  Senior  classes  numbered  nine  and  four  respectively,  while 
six  special  students  brought  the  total  enrollment  of  students  up  to  fifty-three.  The  next 
year  it  dropped  to  fifty  and  the  next  year  to  forty-nine,  rising  again  to  fifty-eight  in  1859-60, 
and  dropping  to  fifty-three  in  the  next  year. 

During  the  six  years  of  Dr.  Ballou's  administration  from  1855-61,  one  hundred  and 
eight  students  registered  in  the  regular  course  and  twelve  in  special  courses,  while  forty- 
seven  men  received  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts. 

Thus  before  the  war  Tufts  was  launched  on  a  career  that  boded  prosperity.  With  a 
constantly  increasing  equipment,  more  than  half  a  hundred  students,  and  a  corps  of  able  and

devoted  instructors,  a  brilliant  future  seemed  to  lie  before  the  young  institution,  but  he  to 
whom  its  success  was  so  largely  due,  was  not  to  live  to  see  the  fruitage  of  his  labors.  Dr. 
Ballou  was  a  man  of  great  conscientiousness,  and  the  work  into  which  he  had  thrown  him- 
self with  his  whole  soul,  at  length  brought  on  an  illness  from  which  he  died  on  May  21,  1861. 

Dr.  Ballou's  gift  to  the  College  was  his  library,  which  for  the  time  was  a  remarkably 
fine  one.  Students  to-day,  in  looking  through  the  volumes  of  our  library  often  find  books 
whose  margins  are  closely  annotated  in  the  fine  scholarly  writing  of  Dr.  Ballou,  and  we  can- 
not but  think  that  he  who  wrote  them  filled  well  his  place,  and  that  without  his  painstaking 
care  and  lofty  ideals  Tufts  College  would  scarcely  be  what  it  is  to-day. 

For  a  year  after  Dr.  Ballou's  death  the  College  remained  without  an  official  head. 
During  this  time  its  affairs  were  well  administered  by  Professor  Marshall.  On  account  of 
the  low  finances  of  the  College  it  was  thought  that  Alonzo  Ames  Miner,  D.D.,  because  of 
his  energy  and  splendid  business  ability,  would  be  the  best  man  for  the  position,  which  was 
accordingly  offered  him,  and  on  the  eleventh  of  July,  1862,  he  was  inaugurated. 

When  Dr.  Miner  assumed  the  responsibility  of  his  position  he  found  the  College  with 
an  income  of  about  one  thousand  dollars  and  a  debt  of  eighteen  thousand,  which  was 
increasing  at  the  rate  of  nearly  five  thousand  dollars  annually.  When  he  left  the  presidency, 
the  assets  of  the  College  amounted  to  nearly  a  million  dollars,  although  expenses  had  greatly 
increased,  and  owing  to  the  great  Boston  fire  of  1872,  manufacturing  interests  in  which  col- 
lege money  was  invested,  had  greatly  depreciated. 

But  it  was  not  merely  as  an  executive  business  man  that  Dr.    Miner  took  high  rank, 
but  also  as  a  teacher.     The  influence  of  his  powerful  personality  upon  those  who  came  under 
his  instruction   was  great,    although  it  is  as  an  administrator  that  he   is  chiefly  remembered.

He  did  not  relinquish  his  pastorate  in  Boston,   and  came  nearly  every  day  to  the  Hill,  con- 
ducting classes  in  Ethics  and  Political  Economy. 

During  his  administration  several  gifts  came  to  the  college.  Mention  has  been  made 
of  Thomas  A.  Goddard  and  Sylvanus  Packard,  whose  gifts  were  constant.  During  this  period 
Dr.  William  J.  Walker  of  Newport,  R.  I.,  bequeathed  about  two  hundred  thousand  dollars  to 
the  college.  Although  not  a  Universalist,  and  deeply  interested  in  Harvard  University,  he 
foresaw  the  career  before  the  younger  college.  The  first  large  sum  which  the  College  received 
after  the  accession  of  Dr.  Miner  was  from  his  own  parish,  amounting  to  about  seventeen 
thousand  dollars.  The  state  gave  the  sum  of  fifty  thousand  dollars  on  condition  that  the 
College  furnish  a  like  amount,  and  thus  one  hundred  thousand  dollars  more  was  obtained. 

In  Dr.  Miner's  administration  but  one  new  building  was  erected.  This  was  West  Hall, 
a  four-storied  brick  dormitory  which  is  still,  perhaps,  the  most  popular  dormitory  on  the  Hill. 

As  the  resources  increased,  the  curriculum  was  expanded  by  the  establishment  of  a 
Philosophical  Course  and  a  Department  of  Engineering.  In  1861  Professor  Brown  was 
engaged  as  tutor  in  Mathematics  and  four  years  later  was  given  charge  of  the  Department. 
In  1864  Professor  Dearborn  was  called  to  the  chair  of  Latin,  and  Professor  Shipman  to  take 
charge  of  the  departments  of  Rhetoric,  Logic,  and  English  Literature.  In  1866  a  chair  of 
Oratory  was  established  with  Moses  True  Brown  as  its  incumbent.  In  1869  an  instructor- 
ship  in  vocal  music  was  established.  In  1871  Charles  E.  Fay  of  the  class  of  '68  was  ap- 
pointed Wade  Professor  of  Modern  Languages.  In  1874  Amos  E.  Dolbear,  A.M.,  M.E.,  a 
man  already  prominent  in  the  scientific  wrorld,  was  appointed  Professor  of  Physics  and 
Astronomy.  Facilities  for  work  in  science  and  modern  languages  were  increased  and  a  few 
more  electives  added.

In  1865  a  course  in  Engineering  leading  to  the  degree  of  Civil  Engineer  was  estab- 
lished. In  1868-69  T.  Willis  Pratt,  C.E.  was  instructor;  being  assisted  by  Mr.  Kinsman  as 
Instructor  in  Applied  Mathematics;  and  in  1869  Charles  D.  Bray,  C.E.,  was  appointed 
instructor  in  Civil  and  Mechanical  Engineering,  being  advanced  to  the  grade  of  professor 
the  year  following.  This  course  originally  extended  over  three  years.  Mathematics,  Phys- 
ical Sciences,  French,  Rhetoric,  Intellectual  and  Moral  Philosophy,  Political  Economy,  and 
Eogic  were  among  the  requirements  of  the  course,  and  lectures  on  Mercantile  Usages  and 
Christian  Evidences  were  introduced  in  the  third  year.  It  was  not  long,  however,  before 
this  course  was  placed  on  a  strictly  technical  basis.  In  1874  it  included  Surveying,  Drafting, 
Construction,  Mechanics,  Field  Engineering,  and  Chemistry. 

In  1869  another  department,  the  Divinity  School,  was  added. 

The  number  of  students  increased  with  the  facilities,  and  in  1874  there  were  eighty- 
three  in  attendance,  forty-seven  being  in  the  regular  course  of  Liberal  Arts. 

Athletics  were  fast  becoming  a  prominent  feature  of  college  life.  Baseball  was  intro- 
duced in  1863  and  football  followed  ten  years  later.  A  fencing  club  was  organized,  of  which 
Professors  Tousey  and  Bray  were  honorary  members.  In  the  spring  of  1865,  a  four-oared 
lapstreak  boat  was  purchased  by  members  of  Theta  Delta  Chi  and  placed  in  a  boat  house  on 
the  Mystic.  There  was  no  regular  crew,  but  C.  V.  Curtis,  '66,  was  coxwain.  Shortly  after 
this  some  members  of  Zeta  Psi  purchased  a  boat,  and  friendly  contests  took  place.  The 
Tufts  Athletic  Association  was  formed  in  November,  1874,  and  on  the  fourth  of  that  month 
the  first  athletic  contest  was  held.  The  events  comprised  a  mile  walk,  mile  run,  one  hun- 
dred yard  dash,  wheelbarrow  race,  high  and  broad  jump,  sack  race,  and  three-legged  race. 

On  December  3,  1874,  at  the  end  of  the  first  half  of  the  college  year,  Dr.  Miner  resigned 
28

the  presidency.  He  felt  that  he  should  either  have  to  give  up  the  College  or  his  parish,  and 
believing  that  the  work  for  which  he  had  assumed  the  presidency  had  been  accomplished, 
he  resigned.  During  his  administration  the  College  increased  wonderfully  in  endowment, 
equipment,  and  in  general  facilities  ;  and  it  is  due  largely  to  his  great  executive  ability  that 
this  was  accomplished.  He  put  the  College  firmly  on  its  feet  and  prepared  it  well  for  the 
further  work  that  it  was  destined  to  accomplish  in  the  line  of  education. 

At  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Miner,  the  Trustees  cast  about  for  another  suitable  man, 
and  for  a  while  the  name  of  the  Hon.  Israel  Washburn,  Jr.,  ex-Governor  of  Maine,  was  con- 
sidered, but  it  was  finally  decided  to  put  a  graduate  at  the  head,  and  on  March  2,  1875  the 
Rev.  Elmer  Hewitt  Capeu  was  nominated,  and  soon  after  elected.  His  inauguration  took 
place  on  June  2  of  the  same  year. 

Owing  to  the  briefness  of  this  history,  Dr.  Capen's  administration  will  be  considered 
only  as  regards  its  effects.  Under  Dr.  Ballou  a  place  was  prepared  for  the  College,  under 
Dr.  Miner  this  place  was  made  secure,  and  under  Dr.  Capen  "  Progress  "  was  the  watchword. 
He,  as  no  other,  enlarged  its  scope  and  placed  it  in  the  front  rank  of  New  England  colleges. 

It  was  noticeable  soon  after  his  administration  began  that  the  courses  gained  in 
liberality  and  opportunity  for  election.  It  was  soon  after  this  that  the  scheme  in  vogue  up 
till  1907,  the  requirement  of  128  term  hours  for  a  degree,  the  greater  part  of  which  were 
elective,  was  instituted. 

The  College  grew  rapidly.     By  1886  the  library  had  reached  such  proportions  that  a 

stack  was  built  on  the  rear  of  Middle  Hall,  which  ever  since  has  been  the  Library.     Many 

buildings  were  erected  during  President  Capen's  term  ;   Goddard  Chapel,  one  of  the  finest 

gems  of  architecture  in  the  country,  the  Gymnasium,  both  the  gift  of  Mrs.  Mary  T.  Goddard

in  memory  of  her  husband  ;  Barnum  Museum  was  erected  in  1882,  and  here  the  remains  of 
immortal  Jumbo  rest.  Dean  Hall  was  built  in  1886,  and  in  1894  the  Bromfield- Pearson  School 
was  established  from  funds  left  by  Henry  B.  Pearson. 

In  1892  the  college  was  opened  to  women  and  in  1894  Metcalf  Hall  was  erected  as  their 
dormitory.  In  this  year  were  also  built  the  Chemical  Laboratory  and  Commons  Hall.  The 
number  of  students  increased  rapidly  and  money  also  flowed  into  the  college  from  various 
sources.  In  1892,  by  the  gift  of  ex-President  Miner,  the  hall  was  built  which  bears  his 
name,  and  made  a  very  necessary  addition  to  the  Divinity  School.  Paige  Hall  was  erected 
soon  after  as  a  dormitory  for  divinity  students. 

In  1893  the  Boston  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  was  in  rather  a  precarious 
condition,  and  several  of  the  professors  resigned,  formed  a  school,  and  applied  to  the  trustees 
of  the  College  for  incorporation.  On  August  29,  1893,  they  held  their  first  faculty  meeting. 
Drs.  Dudley  Nott,  Thayer,  Hall,  Chipman,  Johnson,  and  Wheatly  thus  became  the  founders 
of  Tufts  Medical  School.  On  September  1,  1893,  a  building  at  188  Boylston  Street  was  taken 
and  lectures  began.  The  school  increased  so  rapidly  that  an  additional  hall  was  leased  on 
the  corner  of  Boylston  and  Tremont  Streets.  In  1900  it  was  voted  by  the  Trustees  to  pro- 
vide a  building  for  the  combined  schools  of  medicine  and  dentistry  and  a  building  was 
erected  at  the  corner  of  Huntington  and  Rogers  Avenues.  The  school  is  the  largest  in  New 
England  and  holds  a  very  high  rank  among  medical  schools  in  the  country.  Great  credit  is 
due  Dean  Williams  for  his  painstaking  labor  in  behalf  of  the  school. 

Thus,  during  the  administration  of  Dr.  Capen  the  college  expanded  to  university 
proportions,  and  it  is  to  his  splendid  achievements  and  winning  personality  that  Tufts  owes 
so  much.  On  March  22,  1905,  he  was  stricken  down,  in  the  height  of  his  powers.  His  name 
32 


LOOKING  SOUTH  FROM  BALUJU

will  always  be  held  in  reverence  by  all  who  knew  him,  and  he  will  always  be  regarded  as 
having  done  his  best  for  Tufts  and  having  placed  her  on  a  commanding  eminence  among 
educational  institutions. 

Soon  after  President  Capen's  death,  Rev.  F.  W.  Hamilton,  D.D  ,  LX.D.,  was  appointed 
acting-president,  and  on  June  19,  1906,  was  inaugurated  president.  Dr.  Hamilton  brings 
to  his  office  those  qualifications  which  modern  college  presidents  should  have.  He  has,  by 
his  tact,  insight,  and  unremitting  energy,  won  the  confidence  and  support  of  the  members 
and  constituency  of  the  College,. 

In  1906  the  name  of  the  Divinity  School  was  changed  to  that  of  the  Crane  Theological 
School,  through  a  gift  of  $100,000  from  the  estate  of  Thomas  Crane  of  New  York,  whose  son, 
Albert  Crane,  '63,  thus  carried  out  the  wishes  of  his  father.  In  1905  a  gift  of  $100,000  from 
Mr.  Andrew  Carnegie  made  possible  the  erection  of  a  fine,  new  library  on  ground  opposite 
Miner  Hall.  Thus  progress  is  ever  being  made,  and  the  future  promises  an  achievement  for 
the  College  which  shall  be  worthy  of  its  past.  All  departments  of  the  College  have  grown 
rapidly  and  in  1900  the  Engineering  Department  was  further  increased  by  the  erection  of 
Robinson  Hall.  In  1899  the  Medical  School,  by  the  absorption  of  the  Boston  Dental  College, 
was  enabled  to  offer  courses  in  these  branches. 

Thus  we  bring  this  short  history  to  a  close.  It  is  in  many  respects  faulty,  as  must 
necessarily  be  from  its  length,  but  if  it  has  given  some  idea  of  the  growth  of  the  College, 
its  purpose  has  been  fulfilled.  We  are  indebted  to  the  editors  of  the  history  published  by 
the  class  of  1897,  which  has  been  followed  in  making  this  history.

Ballou  Hall,  the  nucleus  from  which  our  present  score  of  buildings  grew,  was  built  in 
1853.  On  the  twenty-third  of  July  of  that  year  the.  corner-stone  was  laid  by  the  president- 
elect, Hosea  Ballou  2d,  with  appropriate  ceremonies.  The  old  Hill  presented  a  festive 
scene  and  the  ceremonies  were  marked  throughout  by  a  spirit  of  confidence,  of  fidelity  and 
of  success. 

It  was  then  almost  as  it  is  to-day,  rectangular,  one  hundred  feet  long,  by  sixty  broad, 
built  in  Italian  style  of  red-faced  brick,  with  sandstone  trimmings.  On  the  first  floor  the 
corridor  ran  the  entire  length  of  the  building,  with  two  rooms  to  right  and  left  at  the  farther 
end,  corresponding  to  those  at  the  entrance  now.  There  was  no  "  office  "  in  those  days,  but 
all  business  and  Faculty  meetings  were  held  in  the  room  now  assigned  to  the  Dean.  Only 
this  little  room  and  the  one  adjacent,  the  mathamatics  room,  remain  undisturbed.  The  two 
rooms  opposite  formed  one  known  as  the  "small  Chapel."  The  "large  Chapel,"  was  a 
single  hall  occupying  the  westerly  half  of  this  floor,  now  divided  into  four  or  five  rooms. 
There  was  no  "  Bookstore"  then.  The  upper  floor  has  undergone  the  least  change;  the 
three  middle  windows  on  the  front  looked  out  from  one  large  room,  the  College  Library  open 
on  certain  hours,  for  which  the  student  paid  a  fee  of  one  dollar  a  year.

East  fall 

In  the  palmy  days,  East  Hall  was  a  gaunt  structure  of  a  sombre  brown  color,  the 
well-littered  entrance  leading  across  the  hall  to  the  stairway.  For  then  one  mounted  not  at 
the  ends  of  the  hall,  but  by  a  sumptuous  escalier  in  the  middle  part.  The  stairs  were  hollow 
from  many  footsteps,  and  four-fifths  of  the  balustrade  had  long  since  disappeared,  a  prey  to 
the  coal  hods  full  of  ashes  dropped  from  the  third  story  —  in  the  "  palmy  days  "  you  had  to 
"  lug  "  coal  up  from  the  cellar  and  ashes  were  most  expeditiously  emptied  by  dropping  the 
coal  hod  full  down  the  cell  of  the  stairway.  Filling  and  cleaning  the  kerosene-oil  lamps 
also  was  a  task  for  the  roomers  ;  for  rest  assured  that  the  "  care-taker  "  did  not  do  it. 

In  the  basement  was  a  long  hall  on  the  north  side  —  the"  Dive  "  — chiefly  of  value  as 
a  solace  for  hungry  stomachs  in  the  late  hours.  The  rest  of  the  basement  and  some  rooms 
on  the  first  floor  were  occupied  by  "  kitchen  mechanics." 

There  were  no  proctors  in  those  days.  Generally  speaking,  Freshmen  predominated 
in  East  Hall;  still,  there  were  upperclassmen,  and  even  graduate  students  —  a  source  of 
awe.  The  occupants  of  the  small  rooms  at  the  ends  of  the  halls,  men  of  brawn,  by  courtesy 
called  "students,"  sleeping  here  during  the  football  and  baseball  seasons,  should  not  be 
omitted.  Their  names  were  never  called  in  the  classroom  roll  ;  thank  heaven,  that  feature 
has  long  since  been  a  thing  of  the  past. 

Yet  life  was  not  all  beer  and  skittles  in  East  Hall ;   men  of  intelligence,  vigor,  and 

high  ideals  were  formed  in  those  dingy  walls.     Many  a  time  the  talk  has  drifted  on  to  the 

small  hours  of  the  night,  and  high  conceptions  of  manhood  and  honor  were  enunciated  by 

youthful  lips,  and  the  middle  age  of  many  a  one  of  them  has  not  belied  their  East  Hall  dreams.

West  Hall,  the  fourth  building  to  be  erected  by  the  College,  was  opened  to  students  in 
1872.  It  is  a  four-storied  brick  structure,  divided  in  the  middle  into  what  are  practically 
two  halls.  At  first  the  Divinity  School  occupied  the  western  end,  but  since  the  opening  of 
Miner  and  Paige  Halls  in  1892,  the  entire  building  containing  thirty-three  suites,  has  been 
used  as  a  dormitory. 

West  is  perhaps  the  favorite  dormitory  of  the  Hill.  On  the  front  is  the  greensward  of 
the  Campus  ;  toward  the  west,  a  clear  sweep  over  the  "  Rez  "  to  the  valley  beyond  and  the 
ragged  range  of  hills  that  fringe  the  sky;  to  the  rear,  Middlesex  Fells  and  sleepy  old  Med- 
ford  drowsing  in  the  sun  of  a  warm  spring  day;  and  to  the  east,  Maiden  and  Everett,  with 
the  brown  monotony  of  the  clay  pits  on  this  side  and  the  blue  of  the  sea  beyond.  It  is  an 
ideal  location. 

Many  and  varied  are  the  associations  connected  with  old  West.  It  was  here  in  the 
later  '70's  that  Professor  Dolbear  set  up  the  transmitter  of  one  of  his  first  telephones,  the 
receiver  of  which  was  placed  in  Room  I,  Ballou,  and  the  listeners  were  regaled  with  a  cornet 
solo  played  nearly  three  hundred  feet  away.  Here  generations  of  Tufts  men  have  lived  their 
brief  four  years,  perhaps  in  the  very  rooms  their  fathers  occupied  before  them.  Here  still 
linger  the  traditions  of  historic  "  rough  houses  "  and  ,l  hoodaugs  "  of  by-gone  days.  Today 
the  life  in  the  old  dormitory  is  much  the  same,  and  the  pleasantest  memories  of  many  a 
young  man  are  linked  with  the  high,  ungainly  rooms  and  the  bleak,  wind-swept  hallways 
of  West.

The  Barnum  Museum  of  Natural  History  was  built  in  1883-84  by  the  late  Phincas  T. 
Barnum,  who  gave  the  College  a  fund  for  its  maintenance,  and  for  the  addition  of  two  wings 
to  the  central  building.  One  of  these  wings  has  been  erected.  In  addition  to  laboratory 
rooms,  it  affords  space  for  the  display  of  the  mineralogical  and  geological  collections. 

The  College  is  also  indebted  to  Mr.  Barnum  for  the  larger  portion  of  its  zoological 
collection.  This  serves  to  illustrate  all  groups  of  the  animal  kingdom,  and  is  especially  rich 
in  skeletons  and  mounted  skins  of  mammals,  the  whole  being  well  adapted  for  the  purposes 
of  instruction.  The  botanical  collection  consists  of  a  herbarium  containing  a  representation 
of  the  flora  of  New  England,  besides  many  specimens  from  Europe  and  the  southern  and 
western  states.  The  geological  collection  contains  representees  of  the  various  types  of 
rocks,  as  well  as  of  fossils  from  all  formations.  The  mineralogical  collection  embraces  fine 
examples  of  most  of  the  specimens.  The  department  library  of  Natural  History,  numbers 
over  twenty-five  hundred  volumes  and  more  than  six  thousand  pamphlets. 

The  laboratories  and  lecture-rooms  of  the  department  of  Geology  are  in  the  main 
Museum  building.  The  geological  laboratory  is  provided  with  petrological  microscopes, 
instruments  for  making  rock  sections,  and  other  instruments.  The  mineralogical  laboratory 
possesses  the  apparatus  necessary  for  the  determination  of  minerals,  the  analysis  of  ores,  and 
assay  work.  The  biological  laboratories  are  in  the  wing.  The  laboratory  for  elementary 
work  is  furnished  with  all  necessary  facilities,  while  the  laboratories  (two  in  number)  for 
advanced  and  research  work  have  all  the  appliances  needed  for  investigation  on  the  lines  of 
anatomy,  histology,  and  embryology.

Jumbo,  "King  of  the  Elephants,"  after  having  passed  his  infancy  in  Africa,  his 
native  land,  his  youth  in  London,  and  his  maturity  in  traveling  on  two  continents  with 
P.  T.  Barnum,  now  reigns  peacefully  over  a  court  of  lesser  beasts  and  receives  his  admirers 
in  the  main  exhibition  room  of  Barnum  Museum.  His  skeleton,  the  largest  of  a  modern  ter- 
restrial mammal,  is  in  the  possession  of  the  Smithsonian  Institute. 

When  Jumbo  was  received  at  the  London  Zoo  in  1865,  he  was  only  five  feet  high.  In 
seventeen  years  he  had  grown  to  eleven  feet;  at  this  time  Mr.  Barnum  bought  him  for 
$10,000.     Jumbo  subsequently  grew  to  a  height  of  twelve  feet  and  a  weight  of  seven  tons. 

In  1885  Jumbo  was  killed  in  an  heroic  and  successful  attempt  to  save  the  lives  of  his 
keeper  and  of  his  comrade,  a  dwarf  clown  elephant  known  as  "Tom  Thumb."  A  freight 
train  struck  Jumbo  and  pushed  his  tusks  into  his  brain  causing  instant  death.  Jumbo  had 
such  a  strong  hold  upon  the  public  that  his  death  was  regarded   as  a   general  calamity. 

To  Prof.  Henry  A.  Ward  is  due  the  credit  of  preparing  Jumbo  for  exhibition.  The 
skin  when  first  removed  from  the  body  weighed  1538  pounds  ;  it  varied  in  thickness  from

ness and  nailed  to  a  huge  wooden  framework  with  74,480  nails. 

Since  becoming  an  inmate  of  the  Museum,  Jumbo  has  made  a  trip  to  Europe  as  a 
part  of  "The  Greatest  Show  on  Earth."  His  return  to  the  public  was  heralded  far  and 
wide.  Pictures  of  Jumbo's  death,  Jumbo  restored,  and  of  his  skeleton  were  also  exhibited. 
He  was  received  with  great  enthusiasm.  Such  large  sums  were  offered  for  these  two  speci- 
mens that  Mr.  Barnum  was  strongly  tempted  not  to  bring  them  back  to  America.

The  illustration  shows  the  laboratory  for  all  undergraduate  students  in  the  department 
of  Biology,  save  those  taking  elementary  courses.  With  large  windows  on  three  sides,  it 
is  one  of  the  best  lighted  biological  laboratories  in  the  country.  There  are  three  other  large 
laboratories  in  the  wing,  besides  two  small  rooms,  one  occupied  by  graduate  and  advanced 
students  and  the  other  used  as  a  private  laboratory.  The  department  is  well  equipped  with 
every  requisite  for  good  work,  including  microscopes,  microtomes,  reagents,  abundant 
material  for  illustration  and  dissection,  and  not  the  least  important,  a  choice  and  rapidly 
growing  special  library. 

In  the  early  Museum  days,  when  students  were  less  numerous  than  now,  the  basement 
room  in  the  main  building,  at  present  occupied  by  the  Geological  Department,  afforded  ample 
laboratory  accommodations.  •  Then  as  now,  lectures  were  given  in  the  lecture  room  on  the 
ground  floor.  Later,  some  of  the  laboratory  work  was  done  in  the  lecture  room,  but  this  was 
unsatisfactory  on  account  of  bad  lighting  and  inadequate  space.  At  this  time  also,  the  small 
collection  of  books  comprising  the  department  library  was  kept  in  this  room. 

With  the  growth  of  the  College  and  of  the  Department,  came  the  building  of  the  wing. 
At  first  the  basement  and  first  floor  laboratories  were  sufficiently  commodious,  but  in  1904 
there  was  demand  for  a  larger  laboratory,  and  the  large  upper  room  was  opened  for  element- 
ary students.  At  present  the  basement  room  is  used  for  a  private  laboratory.  Instruction 
in  biology  is  given  both  by  lecture  and  by  laboratory  work,  the  object  being  to  impart  the 
scientific  method  of  work  and  thought  rather  than  to  cram  the  student  with  a  large  number  of 
unimportant  facts.  M.  I.  L.

In  1884,  by  the  gift  of  Mrs.  Mary  T.  Goddard,  the  erection  of  a  gymnasium  was  made 
possible.  In  its  first  form  it  was  not  the  Gym  as  we  know  it.  The  part  now  contaiuingthe 
baseball  cage  and  trophy  room  was  not  erected  until  1898.  This  addition  made  the  building 
ample  for  its  purposes.  In  the  trophy  room  are  the  memorials  of  many  hard-fought  battles, 
perhaps  the  best  known  being  the  bronze  tablet  representing  the  victory  of  the  football  team 
over  Harvard.  Mr.  C.  B.  Lewis  is  the  present  physical  director  and  work  is  required  of  all 
students  for  the  first  two  years.  On  the  third  floor  are  the  music  rooms  and  the  library  of 
music  and  rolls  connected  with  the  Music  Department.  In  this  room  are  a  Pianola,  an  ^Kolian, 
and  an  Ivers  &  Pond  player-piano,  and  several  hundred  rolls  for  these  instruments.  The 
building  is  constructed  of  brick  with  ornamented  facings  and  is  three  stories  in  height.  It 
is  near  the  old  campus  and  tennis  courts.

Goddard  Gymnasium  contains  all  the  apparatus  and  facilities  of  the  most  modern 
gymnasiums.  There  are  facilities  for  light  and  heavy  gymnastics,  fencing,  wrestling,  basket- 
ball, baseball,  and  track.  The  cage  is  in  the  basement  and  is  exceptionally  well  lighted. 
The  team  is  called  out  in  February  and  has  indoor  practice  till  opportunity  comes  for  out- 
door practice.  There  is  a  padded  running  track  in  the  galley,  twenty-four  laps  to  a  mile. 
On  the  second  floor  are  the  offices  of  the  director,  containing  a  full  set  of  anthropometric 
instruments.  Physical  examinations  of  all  students  are  required.  The  dressing-rooms, 
lockers,  and  baths  are  in  the  basement.  The  building  is  heated  by  steam  and  lighted  by 
electricity  throughout.  The  basketball  games  during  the  winter  are  held  here  and  the 
arrangement  of  the  floor  makes  it  well  suited  to  the  game.  Class  gymnastic  exhibitions 
have  been  held  in  the  past,  but  were  discontinued  in  1906-07.  The  trophy  room  offers  a 
fine  floor  for  dancing,  and  evening  parties  are  held  here.

In  1886,  the  rapidly  growing  student  body  made  imperative  the  erection  of  a  new 
dormitory,  and  Dean  Hall  was  built.  Funds  for  this  purpose  had  been  bequeathed  by  the 
late  Oliver  Dean,  one  of  the  largest  donors  to  the  College,  and  the  founder  of  Dean  Academy. 
The  building  is  three  stories  in  height,  of  brick  trimmed  with  sandstone,  and  its  rooms  are 
among  the  finest  on  the  Hill.  It  is  heated  throughout  by  steam  and  lighted  by  gas  ;  the 
rooms  are  arranged  in  suites  consisting  of  study  and  two  bedrooms.  It  is  situated  behind 
the  Gymnasium  and  faces  on  the  old  campus.  Although  not  the  most  beautiful  dormitory  in 
the  world,  yet  its  rooms  are  in  great  demand  on  account  of  their  comfort  and  arrangement. 
The  student  body  has  grown  so  rapidly  in  the  last  few  years  that  part  of  Paige,  the  Theolog- 
ical School  dormitory,  has  been  required  for  the  Engineering  students.

Metcalf  Hall,  the  principal  women's  dormitory  on  the  Hill  was  erected  in  1894 on  the 
corner  of  Professors  Row  and  L,atin  Way  and  was  the  gift  of  Albert  Metcalf  of  Newton,  a  man 
who  has  been  lavish  in  his  gifts  to  Tufts  College.  The  hall  is  a  three-story  building  of  yel- 
low brick  with  gray  stone  trimmings,  and  consists  of  a  main  part  and  an  ell ;  it  is  said  that 
it  was  the  original  idea  to  have  two  main  wings  connected  by  an  ell,  but  the  plan  was  not 
carried  out,  and  only  one  of  the  intended  wings  was  ever  built.  In  the  main  corridor  of  the 
hall,  just  opposite  the  entrance,  there  is  a  tablet  on  which  is  inscribed:  "  In  honor  of  women 
and  as  a  help  to  her  higher  education  this  building  is  erected  by  Albert  Metcalf  in  1894  " 
The  hall  contains  a  matron's  suite,  a  reception  room,  a  reading  room,  kitchen,  dining  room 
and  laundry  conveniences,  and  servants'  quarters,  as  well  as  dormitory  accommodations  for 
thirty-two  women.  The  dining  room  is  light  and  cheery,  and  has  three  tables  large  enough 
to  seat  all  the  girls  of  Metcalf  Hall  and  Start  House,  the  other  dormitory,  as  well  as  many  of 
the  day  students  who  come  in  occasionally  for  a  luncheon  or  a  dinner.  The  reading  room  is 
a  favorite  gathering  place  for  the  girls,  and  offers  pleasant  recreation  through  its  piano  and 
its  magazines  ;  this  room  is  also  used  for  the  bi-weekly  meetings  of  the  All  Around  Club, 
the  social  club  to  which  all  the  Tufts  girls  belong.  Life  at  Metcalf  Hall  is  the  usual  life  of 
a  girl's  college  dormitory  ;  there  are  no  end  of  chafing  dish  spreads  and  teas  and  fudge 
parties,  and  there  is  always  an  abundance  of  fun  and  jollity  on  foot.

The  Crane  Theological  School  has  its  home  in  Miner  and  Paige  Halls,  on  the  southern 
slope  of  the  Hill. 

As  one  enters  Miner,  on  the  right  are  two  class  rooms,  on  the  left  is  the  theological 
library  where  pious  "  Theologues  "  spend  many  hours  pondering  over  the  eschatology  of 
Theodore  of  Mopsuestia,  as  the  probable  origin  of  the  "P.  J.  and  E."  narratives  in  the 
Hexateuch.  Next  to  the  library  is  the  Maria  Miner  Reception  Room.  Here  may  be  seen 
one  of  the  valuable  relics  of  the  church  —  the  table  on  which  John  Murray,  the  apostle  of 
Universalism  in  America,  wrote  his  sermons  one  hundred  years  ago. 

On  the  second  floor  of  Miner,  on  the  left,  is  the  Dean's  room.  This  is  a  shrine  to 
which  all  underclassmen  aspire  and  to  which  graduates  turn  back  in  loving  memory.  On 
the  other  side  of  the  corridor  is  another  class  room.  The  remaining  room  is  used  as  a 
chapel. 

Paige  Hall  is  the  theological  dormitory  with  its  narrow  cells ;  the  coming  priests 
attired  in  their  Roman  cowls  (or,  to  use  the  modern  term,  bath  robes),  spend  their  days  of 
preparation  in  cloistered  seclusion  and  separation  from  the  world.  It  may  be  well  to  add 
that  this  simple  life  is  not  always  followed.  Sometimes  there  is  a  "  concert  "  on  the  second 
floor  —  music,  singing,  dancing  ;  then  a  game  of  hockey  ;  and,  of  course,  a  midnight  spread. 
Occasionally  a  dignified  fifth  year  man  is  disturbed  by  such  worldliness  and  calls  us  "  East 
Hall  comedians  ";  but  this  only  adds  zest  to  our  pleasure.  In  truth  the  life  in  Paige  Hall 
is  full  of  good  cheer  and  fraternal  interest,  for  the  true  Tufts  spirit  prevails.

Goddard  Chapel,  erected  in  1883,  is  the  gift  of  Mrs.  Mary  T.  Goddard,  as  a  memorial 
of  her  husband,  Thomas  A.  Goddard.  It  is  built  of  stone,  cruciform  in  design  with  but  one 
transept  carried  to  completion.  On  the  south  side  a  triple-arched  cloister  connects  the  tran- 
sept with  the  western  entrance  ;  the  massive  tower  on  the  north  side  may  be  seen  for  miles 
around.  The  interior  is  simple  yet  churchly  ;  the  walls  of  the  nave  are  tiled  with  brick  to  a 
height  of  seven  feet,  forming  above  a  Roman  arch.  At  the  east  is  the  chancel  with  a  simple 
communion  table  in  the  centre,  and  at  the  right  and  left,  lectern  and  pulpit.  Around  the 
sides  are  "  faculty  seats."  The  magnificent  chancel  window  represents  St.  Paul  with  sword 
and  Holy  Bible  in  hand.  Beneath  the  window  is  a  bron/.e  bust  of  President  Capen.  In  the 
transept  is  a  memorial  tablet  in  honor  of  the  Tufts  men  who  served  during  the  Civil  War. 

The  Chapel  is  the  centre  of  religious  life  at  Tufts.  Daily  morning  prayers  are  held, 
and  on  Sundays,  evening  prayer  and  sermon.     During  Dent  vespers  are  held  mid-week. 

Aside  from  the  religious  life,  much  supremely  collegiate  centers  here.  During  the 
academic  year,  Tower  Cross  conducts  lectures  and  musicals  here,  the  Glee  Club  gives  mid- 
year concerts,  and  debates  are  conducted  here.  On  Class  Day  the  Seniors  hold  their  last 
morning  exercises  in  the  chapel. 

Perhaps  the  greatest  event  of  all  is  Commencement.  Then  the  long  procession  of 
Seniors  and  Faculty  attired  in  academic  gowns,  proceeds  to  the  Chapel,  where  the  degrees 
and  final  honors  are  conferred. 

From  the  first  day  as  a  freshman  until  the  graduate  departs,  the  Chapel  has  been  a 
part  of  the  college  life,  and  it  has  left  an  unforgettable  impression.

Eaton  fHrmnrtal  ICtbraru, 

In  1905  a  gift  of  $100,000  from  Mr.  Andrew  Carnegie  made  possible  the  erection  of  the 
new  Library.  Ground  was  broken  in  the  spring  of  1906.  The  building  is  of  brick  faced  with 
marble.  The  approach  is  imposing,  the  steps  rising  in  tiers  to  an  impressive  portico.  The 
library  contains  reading  rooms  and  rooms  for  the  libraries  of  the  various  departments. 
The  stack  extends  from  basement  to  roof  and  is  amply  sufficient  for  the  needs  of  the  College. 
Steam  heat  and  electric  lighting  are  installed  throughout.  The  new  library  fills  a  real 
need,  for  the  old  library  was  much  too  small  for  the  rapid  increase  of  books.  In  1907  the 
name  was  changed  at  the  request  of  Mrs.  Carnegie  to  that  of  the  Eaton  Memorial  Library, 
in  remembrance  of  Dr.  Chas.  H.  Eaton,  a  graduate  of  the  Tufts  Divinity  School,  '74,  and 
the  College  of  Letters,  '77.  He  received  an  honorary  D.D.  in  1887.  Dr.  Eaton  was  a  pol- 
ished and  scholarly  preacher,  and  the  dedication  of  this  magnificent  library  is  a  well-deserved 
tribute  to  this  able  and  learned  son  of  Tufts.

Curtis  Hall  was  completed  in  1894.  It  is  situated  at  the  foot  of  the  hill  on  College 
Avenue,  and  in  addition  to  rooms  for  students  it  contains  the  college  post  office  and  Com- 
mons dining  hall.  Recently  the  wing  facing  the  chemical  laboratory  has  been  renovated, 
and  is  used  by  the  department  of  engineering  as  a  lecture  hall.  The  "  Dive  "  which  origi- 
nally occupied  this  wing  has  been  moved  to  the  other  side  of  the  building.  Curtis  Hall 
originally  contained  a  general  book  and  supply  store,  but  with  the  advent  of  the  Bookstore 
this  was  removed  to  the  second  floor  of  Ballou  Hall.  Curtis  Hall  is  occupied  almost  entirely 
by  engineering  students  on  account  of  its  nearness  to  Robinson  Hall  and  the  Bromfield-Pear- 
son  School.  It  is  steam  heated  and  lighted  by  gas.  On  the  second  floor  are  the  offices  of 
the  Tufts  College  Publishing  Association.  In  the  basement  is  situated  the  Tufts  College 
Press,  managed  by  H.  W.  Whittemore,  '86.  All  the  college  printing  is  done  there  besides 
the  publishing  of  the  Tufts  College  Graduate.

What  memories  cluster  around  the  old  Dive  !  Even  now  we  can  hear  the  tinkle  of 
glass  and  the  rhythmic  beat  of  a  multitude  of  feet,  as  the  itinerant  orchestra  grinds  out  the 
prison  song  from  II  Trovatore  !  The  Dive  is  a  fond  recollection  of  every  college  man.  It 
is  now  situated  in  the  side  of  Curtis  nearest  the  bridge.  After  passing  through  various 
forms  of  management,  it  is  run  this  year  under  private  supervision.  Those  not  eating  at 
fraternity  houses  find  here  a  happy  mingling  of  fellows  on  a  common  footing.  Many  stories 
of  the  Dive  have  been  published  in  former  "Brown  and  Blues,"  and  it  always  holds  a 
place  in  one's  memory.  The  Dive  has  done  much  to  promote  a  feeling  of  common  interest 
among  the  men  of  the  College  and  as  such  performs  a  function  which  could  not  well  be  filled 
by  any  other  institution.

Robinson  Hall,  erected  in  1900  through  the  generosity  of  the  heirs  of  the  late  Charles 
Robinson,  a  former  president  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  is  occupied  by  the  Department  of 
Engineering.  The  building  is  of  red  brick  and  terra  cotta  with  granite  underpinning  and 
portico,  and  is  one  hundred  and  twenty  feet  long  by  fifty  feet  wide. 

Nine  years  ago  when  the  plans  for  the  building  were  being  prepared  and  its  exact 
location  was  being  determined,  it  was  urged  by  Dean  Anthony  and  his  advisers  that  room 
should  be  left  for  another  closely  adjacent  engineering  building  of  even  greater  dimensions. 
This  proposition  was  hardly  taken  seriously  by  those  representing  the  Trustees,  who  affirmed 
that  the  time  when  Tufts  College  would  require  an  additional  engineering  building  was  so 
remote  that  it  need  give  the  present  generation  no  concern.  But  to-day  engineering  classes 
are  meeting  in  the  dining  room  of  Curtis  Hall,  and  any  considerable  increase  in  the  number 
of  students  would  require  another  building.  And  this  increase  is  likely  to  occur,  for  more 
and  more  the  world  is  entrusting  the  stupendous  interests  of  its  commerce  and  its  industries 
to  the  technical  graduate.  Each  year  sees  a  greater  demand  for  the  engineering  graduates 
of  Tufts  College.  East  year  we  had  calls  for  between  two  or  three  times  as  many  men  as 
received  diplomas.

Receiving  steam  for  heat  and  power  through  a  subterranean  conduit  from  the  Power 
House  in  the  rear,  the  entire  basement  of  Robinson  Hall  is  available  for  laboratories,  shops, 
etc.  In  the  south  end  is  the  mechanical  and  hydraulic  laboratory.  This  room  is  used  by 
all  engineering  students  during  the  first  half  of  their  Junior  year.  Tests  are  made  with  a 
60,000-pound  Olsen  testing  machine  of  wood,  iron,  steel,  and  concrete,  embodying  tension, 
compression,  shear,  and  transverse  bending.  Besides,  practical  problems  are  analyzed  con- 
cerning bolt  friction  as  applied  to  the  strength  of  bolts  or  studs  in  cylinder  heads,  machines 
and  so  on,  and  belt  friction  as  regards  to  power  transmission  by  belt  and  rope  driving,  both 
by  experiments  and  illustrative  problems. 

The  classes  are  divided  into  squads  of  ten  to  twelve  students  so  that  each  student  has 
opportunity  to  take  observations  himself  and  to  ascertain  something  of  his  "  personal  equa- 
tion "  in  attempting  such  work. 

In  the  second  half  of  their  Junior  year  the  Civil  Engineers  use  this  room  for  their 
course  in  Hydraulic  Measurements  which  includes  tests  with  a  600-gallon  Worthington 
duplex  pump,  standard  nozzles,  water-meters,  weirs,  channels,  Pitot  tubes,  and  a  12-inch 
Pelton  water-wheel.  The  same  class  also  carries  on  field  experiments  whereby  it  measures 
the  flow  of  water  in  a  river  or  canal  and  determines  the  water-power  thus  afforded.

engine  belted  to  an  Alden  brake,  and  a  gas  engine  belted  to  an  electric  generator  and  also 
provided  with  Prony  and  rope  brakes.  These  engines  and  the  125  H.  P.  boiler  are  all 
available  for  the  purposes  of  testing. 

The  regular  list  of  experimental  work  includes  tests  on  steam  gages  and  indicators  : 
determination  of  engine  clearance  ;  valve  setting  on  plain  slide  valve,  automatic  high  speed, 
and  Corliss  type  engines,  the  flow  of  steam  and  air  through  orifices  ;  tests  on  injectors  and

The  dynamo  laboratory  at  the  north  end  of  the  basement  contains  about  twenty 
machines,  all  the  generators  being  motor  driven  either  directly  or  through  shafting.  Of 
considerable  historical  interest  are  the  two  Sprague  railway  motors,  shown  in  the  cut  on  the 
right  under  the  heating  chambers.  They  are  the  first  pair  of  motors  operated  under  a  car 
by  the  West  End  Street  Railway  Company  of  Boston.  Another  interesting  machine  is  a 
twenty-four  pole  Mordey  alternator  mounted  on  the  same  bedplate  with  and  directly  con- 
nected to  a  125  volt  direct  current  motor.  This  alternator  yields  currents  of  any  frequency 
up  to  about  twelve  hundred  periods  per  second  and  its  forty-eight  armature  coils  are 
arranged  in  twelve  independent  circuits,  thus  admitting  of  a  great  range  of  voltage  and  cur- 
rent in  the  output  of  the  machine  at  normal  field  excitation.  This  and  many  other  machines 
in  this  room  have  been  designed  and  constructed  in  the  college  workshops  and  represent  the 
theses  of  graduating  students.  Superintendent  Raymond  of  the  General  Electric  Co.,  has 
said  that  most  of  them  are  "  commercial  machines"  that  is,  good  enough  to  put  on  the 
market.  In  the  view  of  the  dynamo  room  the  immediate  foreground  shows  a  pair  of 
machines  that  can  be  used  as  direct  current  generators  or  motors,  as  alternating  generators 
or  synchronous  motors  of  one,  two,  three,  four  or  six  phases,  and  as  synchronous  convertors. 
These  also  are  the  product  of  our  workshops,  and  with  them  a  great  variety  of  important 
tests  can  be  made.

have  proved  to  be  of  great  value  in  the  testing  of  insulation.  For  several  thousand  dollars' 
worth  of  our  electrical  apparatus  and  machinery  we  are  indebted  to  our  distinguished 
graduate  and  Trustee,  Dr.  F.  S.  Pearson,  of  the  Class  of  1883.

The  second  floor  contains  the  library,  the  physics  lecture  room  and  apparatus  room, 
and  several  recitation  rooms  and  offices.  The  library  is  a  branch  of  the  main  library  of  the 
College  and  is  open  to  all  students,  who  are  at  liberty  to  consult  and  take  out  such  books  as 
may  be  needed  in  their  work.  No  librarian  is  in  attendance,  but  each  student  records  the 
taking  out  and  return  of  a  book  from  the  room. 

The  physics  lecture  room  is  the  largest  class  room  on  the  Hill,  but  it  is  filled  whenever 
the  three  divisions  of  Physics  I  meet  together  for  a  lecture.  Here  also  are  held  the  meetings 
of  the  Engineering  Society.  The  physical  apparatus  room  is  something  of  a  curiosity  shop. 
In  addition  to  the  apparatus  now  used  for  lecture  room  experiments,  it  contains  many  articles 
of  historic  interest,  especially  in  the  line  of  early  forms  of  electric  lighting  and  telephone 
apparatus.

Half  of  the  third  floor  is  occupied  by  the  elementary  physical  laboratory,  a  room  admir- 
ably adapted  for  experiments  not  requiring  extremely  stable  foundations.  The  remainder  of 
the  floor  is  devoted  to  the  photographic  room,  the  wet  laboratory,  and  the  civil  engineering- 
drawing  room.  The  latter  is  a  lofty  and  finely-lighted  room  and  is  equipped  with  about 
forty  drawing  tables,  a  large  blue-printing  frame,  and  an  electric  light-tracing  table.  Here  are 
carried  on  the  courses  in  Roofs  and  Bridges,  and  allied  structural  subjects,  as  well  as  work 
in  plotting  and  topographical  drawing  when  inclement  weather  keeps  the  surveying  classes 
indoors.  Way  up  under  the  ridgepole  of  the  building  is  a  narrow  room  one  hundred  feet 
long,  known  as  the  "  grave  yard,"  a  room  not  open  to  students  or  the  public.  Here  await- 
ing a  possible  day  of  resurrection,  reposes  a  great  variety  of  old  apparatus  and  material  such 
as  patterns  and  parts  of  machines,  arc  lamps,  broken  files  of  scientific  publications,  all  the 
blue  prints  of  the  old  Hinckley  Locomotive  Works,  and  much  of  the  apparatus  developed  in 
Professor  Dolbear's  researches  in  telephony.

Among  the  special  advantages  that  Tnfts  offers  for  teaching  the  subject  of  surveying, 
should  be  noted  first  the  extent  and  topography  of  its  grounds.  There  are  in  all  about  one 
hundred  and  fifteen  acres  owned  by  the  College,  and  one-third  of  this  area  is  still  open,— 
not  built  upon  by  the  irresistible  "suburbanite"  who  is  fast  encroaching  upon  all  sides, — 
and  affords  the  advantages  of  an  almost  rural  location,  though  situated  in  fact,  within  the 
Metropolitan  district. 

Surveying  classes  reach  the  field  in  five  minutes  after  leaving  the  Engineering 
buildings. 

The  view  opposite  shows  some  of  our  surveying  equipment  and  a  part  of  the  Sopho- 
more class  gathered  on  the  Boulevard  Field.  This  area  is  open  as  to  its  surface,  in  part 
hilly,  with  some  stone  walls  and  high  fences,  thus  affording  favorable  conditions  for  various 
forms  of  surveying,  including  practice  with  the  Plane  Table,  Stadia,  and  other  topographical 
surveying.  There  is  good  opportunity  as  well  for  triangulation,  and  the  determination  of 
true  meridau  and  time  by  solar  and  stellar  observations,  which  practice  is  carried  on  by  the 
Juniors  in  Precise  Surveying. 

Preliminary  practice  in  Railroad  Surveying  now  taken  by  the  Seniors,  is  likewise 
carried  on  here  on  the  College  grounds;  but  practice  under  more  extended  surveys  under 
the  real  conditions  of  hill  and  vale,  thicket  and  clearing,  swamp  and  field,  is  found  two  or 
three  miles  distant  in  the  large  undeveloped  tracts  in  Stoneham,  Woburn,  Lexington  and 
the  Middlesex  Fells  Reservation,  which  should  afford  surveying  opportunities  for  another 
half-centurv. 


SOPHOMORE  SURVEYING 


The  scheme  of  instruction  pursued  in  the  Surveying  classes  has  been  largely  that  of 
the  field  method,  which  raises  to  the  first  importance  a  drill  in  the  accomplishment  of  such 
tasks  as  a  young  engineer  would  be  called  upon  to  undertake.  At  times,  it  is  a  drill  in  hold- 
ing one  end  of  a  tape,  or  driving  a  stake  securely,  but  oftener  it  is  a  drill  in  technical 
principles  as  required  for  the  proper  execution  of  a  problem  in  the  field  or  in  the  office. 

Furthermore,  the  aim  is  not  only  to  acquire  reasonable  facility  in  the  use  of  instru- 
ments, but  further  to  give  that  which  is  also  of  great  importance,  namely,  experience  in 
skillfully  and  tactfully  dealing  with  one's  fellow  workmen. 

During  the  past  year,  on  account  of  the  increased  numbers  of  Engineering  students, 
all  of  whom  take  surveying  the  first  half  of  Sophomore  year,  it  has  been  necessary  to  revise 
the  former  methods  of  teaching  this  subject.  The  change  that  has  been  adopted  aims  to 
continue  the  system  of  small  squads  as  a  teaching  unit  —  a  plan  of  manifest  advantages  — 
and  to  accomplish  this,  each  student  now  acts  in  turn  as  the  overseer  of  a  squad.  The  in- 
structor deals  with  the  student,  as  representing  the  squad,  lays  out  the  work  for  him  and 
holds  him  responsible  for  methods,  results,  care  of  instruments  and  so  on  —  all  of  which  he 
reports  upon  in  writing  at  the  end  of  the  period.  Thus  an  attempt  is  being  made  (and  we 
think  generally  appreciated  by  the  students)  to  create  a  business-like  and  comprehensive 
course  in  surveying  that  shall  be  both  profitable  and  interesting.

The  Bromfield- Pearson  Building  was  built  in  1893  from  the  funds  of  the  late  Henry  B. 
Pearson,  and  is  specially  equipped  for  the  laboratory  in  Pattern  Making  and  Machine  Work, 
together  with  drafting  and  recitation  rooms.  It  is  a  substantial,  three-story  brick  building 
measuring  one  hundred  by  fifty  feet.  Although  it  was  originally  designed  to  be  furnished 
with  heat,  light,  and  power  from  its  own  plant,  these  are  now  supplied  from  the  adjoining 
power  station.  The  shops  are  driven  by  independent  motors  and  the  building  is  thoroughly 
lighted  by  electricity.  The  third  floor  is  largely  occupied  by  a  hall  which  is  used  for  lec- 
tures, large  classes,  and  the  meetings  of  the  Tufts  Engineering  Society. 

In  this  building  the  work  of  the  Bromfield-Pearson  School  is  also  conducted.  This 
school  is  intended  to  meet  the  wants  of  a  limited  number  of  mature  young  men  whose  prepa- 
ration for  an  Engineering  course  may  be  somewhat  deficient,  but  whose  experience  in  the 
applied  field  of  Engineering  may  qualify  them  to  pursue  work  of  a  College  grade  while  mak- 
ing up  these  deficiencies.  By  this  means  an  Engineering  education  is  made  possible  to 
those  who  may  have  been  deprived  of  opportunities  for  obtaining  the  necessary  preparation, 
or  who  may  have  allowed  considerable  time  between  the  high  school  and  the  college  course. 
A  mature  mind,  industrious  habits,  and  a  keen  appreciation  of  the  value  of  the  higher 
education  in  Engineering  are  the  essential  qualifications  for  engaging  in  this  work.

The  Pattern  Shop  is  equipped  with  benches,  tools,  and  lathes  for  divisions  of  thirty 
students.  The  work  here  is  designed  to  give  a  practical  knowledge  of  the  mechanical  pro- 
cesses and  the  materials  of  construction  by  means  of  a  graded  series  of  exercises  having  in 
view  the  formation  of  habits  of  precision  and  the  development  of  judgment  essential  to  the 
engineer.  The  work  in  this  department  maintains  a  close  relation  with  the  courses  in 
drawing  and  design. 

The  first  half  of  the  Freshman  year  is  spent  on  Joinery,  Wood  Turning,  and  Foundry, 
Joinery  gives  the  elementary  use  of  ordinary  bench  tools.  Wood  Turning  is  carried  through 
straight  turning,  face  plate,  and  chuck  work.  Foundry  work,  which  is  designed  to  give  the 
necessary  preparation  for  pattern  making,  takes  up  green-sand  moulding  in  two-part  and 
three-part  flasks,  with  solid  or  split  patterns,  green-sand  and  dry-sand  cores  ;  also  core  mak- 
ing, and  casting  in  soft  metals.  The  course  in  Pattern  Making  includes  work  on  simple  and 
split  patterns,  built-up  work,  and  core  boxes.  Considerable  time  is  spent  in  the  study  of 
special  problems.

The  Machine  Shop  and  its  equipment  is  designed  to  provide  the  means  for  laboratory 
training  in  the  study  and  the  use  of  machine  tools.  The  equipment  includes  engine  and 
speed  lathes,  drill  presses,  shapers,  planer  and  milling  machine,  a  thirty-inch  Bullard  bor- 
ing mill,  and  Brown  and  Sharp  universal  grinding  machine.  The  Shop  is  driven  by  a 
twelve  horse-power  motor  which  was  designed  and  built  by  the  students  of  the  Electrical 
Department. 

Provision  is  made  for  a  class  of  eighteen  in  the  introductory  course  of  Chipping  and 
Filing,  but  it  is  intended  to  limit  the  number  in  the  Machine  Tool  divisions  to  twelve 
students. 

The  advanced  course  in  project  and  constructive  work  is  conducted  here  and  many  of 
the  problems  in  machine  design  are  brought  to  the  test  of  actual  construction. 

The  first  course  in  Chipping  and  Filing  and  Machine  Tools  includes  instruction  in 
work  at  the  vise  followed  by  lathe  work  which  involves  straight  and  taper  turning  and  fit- 
ting, chucking,  boring,  reaming,  and  thread  cutting;  also  drilling  and  planing,  shaper  and 
milling-machine  work. 

The  advanced  course  includes  further  instruction  in  lathe  work  upon  steel  and  brass, 
the  use  of  the  boring  mill,  hardening  and  grinding,  and  the  elements  of  tool  making.

The  accompanying  cut  illustrates  one  of  the  drafting  rooms  in  the  Bromfield-Pearson 
Building.  It  is  equipped  for  a  class  of  sixty-three  students  and  is  provided  with  ample  light, 
having  windows  on  three  sides.  The  desks  are  arranged  so  as  to  enable  each  student  to 
receive  light  from  the  left  and  front  side.  The  scheme  for  artificial  lighting  is  very  effici- 
ent, each  desk  being  provided  with  a  lamp,  while  a  general  diffusion  of  light  is  obtained  by 
seventeen  fifty-candle  power  General  Electric  Meridian  lights  on  the  ceiling,  making  a  total 
of  one  thousand  eight  hundred  fifty-eight-candle  power  for  the  illumination  of  the  room. 

Here  are  conducted  the  courses  of  elementary  instruction  in  the  modern  language  of 
Graphics,  and  the  Engineering  students  are  taught  to  express  themselves  in  the  only  lan- 
guage which  may  be  termed  universal. 

From  the  first  Tufts  has  taken  this  position  with  respect  to  the  subject  of  drawing, 
requiring  it  to  be  taught  as  a  language  rather  than  as  a  course  in  penmanship,  or  picture 
making.  The  work  of  this  department  has  been  so  correlated  with  that  of  the  other  Engin- 
eering courses  that  the  student  is  made  to  realize  the  efficiency  of  this  language  as  a  medium 
for  the  expression  of  technical  ideas.

SIhr  |tanirr  Station 

The  Power  Station  is  equipped  with  a  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  horse-power  boiler 
which  supplies  heat  and  power  to  the  engineering  buildings.  The  boiler  is  piped  and 
equipped  for  experimental  work  in  steam  engineering  and  may  be  run  by  forced  or  natural 
draft. 

The  engine  room  contains  a  forty  horse-power  Harrisburg  Standard  engine  directly 
coupled  to  a  twenty-five  Killowatt,  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  volt  direct  current  General 
Electric  generator  which  is  used  to  furnish  light  and  power  to  the  engineering  buildings.  A 
ten  horse-power  Columbia  gas  engine  belted  to  a  direct  current  generator  serves  for  auxiliary 
power  and  testing  purposes. 

There  is  a  twelve  pole  Mordey  alternator  having  a  two  ton  rotating  field  which  is 
connected  with  a  Sturtevant  engine  and  used  for  experimental  purposes;  the  Mordey  alter- 
nator having  been  designed  and  constructed  in  the  workshops  of  the  College.  A  twenty-five 
horse-power  Buckeye  engine  with  an  Alden  absorption  dynamometer  is  also  used  for  the 
experimental  course  in  steam  engineering.  A  storage  battery  of  sixty  elements  furnishes 
current  for  lighting,  power,  and  laboratory  purposes. 

An  extension  of  the  Power  Station  building  provides  accommodation  for  the  Forge 
Shop  and  Foundry,  the  former  being  equipped  with  twenty-one  forges  together  with  the 
necessary  tools  for  conducting  the  courses  of  this  department.

For  some  years,  prior  to  1894,  the  Chemical  Department  had  occupied  the  lower  floor 
of  Ballou  Hall,  except  that  part  now  used  for  offices  by  the  College,  the  President,  and 
Professor  Whittemore.  As  the  College  grew,  this  space  became  too  small  for  the  Chemical 
laboratory.  The  laboratory  odors  were  objectionable  to  some  instructors  in  the  building  and 
the  need  of  more  recitation  rooms  as  well  as  laboratory  space  became  urgent. 

To  meet  this  emergency,  the  Trustees,  early  in  the  summer  of  1894,  decided  to  remove 
the  Chemical  Department  bodily  from  Ballou  Hall  and  to  construct,  near  the  site  of  the  old 
College  barn,  a  wooden  building  for  a  chemical  laboratory.  The  superintendent  of  grounds 
and  buildings,  the  College  carpenter,  and  workmen  began  work  late  in  the  summer  and  the 
structure  was  completed  and  occupied  in  October,  1894.  This  temporary  building,  designed 
to  last  eight  years,  is  still  the  home  of  the  Chemical  Department. 

The  dimensions  are  as  follows:  Dength,  one  hundred  feet;  width,  fifty  feet.  It  has 
one  story  and  a  high,  fairly  well-lighted  basement.  Consequently  the  floor  space  is  ten 
thousand  square  feet.  The  general  chemistry  and  qualitative  analysis  laboratory  is  on  the 
first  floor,  a  store  room  for  chemicals  and  one  for  apparatus,  two  rooms  for  quantitative 
analysis,  one  for  organic  and  theoretical  chemistry,  a  professor's  private  laboratory,  and  the 
department  library  and  balance  room.  The  lecture  room  is  situated  on  the  lower  floor,  a 
professor's  private  library,  the  assaying  laboratory,  boiler  room,  and  large  room  for  labora- 
tory supplies.

The  fixed  furniture  in  these  rooms  was  partly  borrowed  and  partly  made  for  the  occa- 
sion. First  for  the  sake  of  economy  and  that  the  transition  from  the  old  to  the  new  labora- 
tory might  not  shock  the  nerves  of  the  students  and  instructors,  the  old  desks  with  their  gas 
and  water  fixtures  were  moved  down  from  Ballou  Hall  and  installed,  and  to  keep  them  from 
being  carried  off  inadvertently  as  souvenirs,  the  rooms  were  fitted  with  second-hand  doors 
and  locks  from  East  Hall.  The  college  carpenter  constructed  other  desks,  which  looked 
new,  and  put  up  shelves  and  hoods.  The  East  Hall  doors  and  Ballou  Hall  desks  and  fix- 
tures in  the  same  rooms  with  new  desks,  produced  the  effect  of  shreds  and  patches,  or, 
perhaps,  of  Joseph's  coat,  but  in  spite  of  their  unprepossessing  appearance,  they  were  well 
adapted  and  arranged  for  actual  chemical  work.  The  plumbing,  gas,  and  steam  fitting  was 
ample  and  convenient.  In  spite  of  these  facts,  however,  its  most  ardent  admirer  never 
claimed  that  the  chemical  laboratory,  interior  or  exterior,  was  a  work  of  art. 

In  equipping  the  Laboratory  with  chemicals  and  apparatus,  a  somewhat  different 
policy  has  prevailed.  Economy  has  been  to  the  fore  as  in  the  construction  of  the  building, 
but  the  economy  that  procures  at  the  least  price  the  thing  that  will  do  the  work  demanded 
of  it  in  the  best  possible  way.  The  department  has  always  improved  the  opportunity  to 
import  duty  free.  The  result  is  that  the  laboratory  equipment  is  well  up  to  elate  and 
sufficient  for  practically  all  kinds  of  chemical  work.  It  will  not  suffer  by  comparison  with 
the  chemical  equipment  of  many  institutions  far  more  pretentious  than  Tufts  College.

GENERAL  CHEMICAL  LABORATORY 


The  work  performed  in  this  temporary  building,  during  the  past  thirteen  years  would 
seem  to  justify  its  existence.  Within  it  many  investigations  in  pure  science  have  been  made 
and  many  technical  problems  solved.  Growth  in  numbers  of  students  has  been  great.  In 
1893,  the  year  before  the  Laboratory  was  built,  the  beginning  class  contained  twenty-eight, 
but  would  have  contained  twelve  more  if  a  change  in  the  programme  had  not  cut  out  the 
engineers.  There  were  ninety-seven  beginning  chemisty  last  year  and  this  year  one  hun- 
dred and  sixteen.  The  growth  in  students  from  the  College  of  Letters  has  been  more  than 
one  hundred  per  cent  and  a  little  greater  from  the  Engineering  side  of  the  College.  One 
hundred  and  sixty  students  work  in  a  single  room,  fifty  by  fifty-nine  feet.  Every  desk  in 
the  quantitative  and  organic  laboratories  is  occupied.  There  are  more  students  than  the 
building  can  properly  accommodate  and  everything  points  to  larger  classes  next  year.  To 
add  to  the  difficulties,  occasioned  by  insufficient  space  and  ventilation,  the  steam,  water,  and 
gas  fixtures  have  quite  outlived  their  usefulness.  The  rainbow  curves  in  the  lecture  room 
show  how  much  the  building  itself  has  settled.  Unless  the  Chemical  Department  can  have 
a  new  building  immediately,  its  teaching  efficiency  cannot  be  maintained.  F.  W.  D.

One  would  scarcely  think  that  a  railroad  station  could  have  anything  to  do  with  the 
College,  yet  a  former  graduate  studying  in  a  foreign  university,  in  answering  questions  per- 
taining to  Tufts  made  the  statement  that  Tufts  had  a  station  of  its  own.  The  pompous 
German  was  amazed  at  the  enormous  size  of  an  institution  that  could  have  a  railway  station 
for  its  own  special  use. 

The  station  is  a  handsome  structure  of  granite,  and  with  its  concrete  walks  and  care- 
fully kept  lawns  and  flower  beds,  forms  a  pleasing  introduction  to  College  for  the  timid 
Freshmen.  Its  blue  and  white  sign  with  the  awe-inspiring  "Tufts  College"  has  probably 
caused  the  heart  of  more  than  one  prospective  Freshman  to  beat  in  anticipation  of  his  recep- 
tion to  college  life.

A  medical  school,  in  order  that  its  undergraduates  may  have  the  best  facilities  for 
their  great  amount  of  hospital  work,  must  necessarily  be  situated  in  some  large  city  not  far 
from  the  best  hospitals. 

Our  medical  school  consists  of  one  large  red-brick  building  located  near  the  outskirts 
of  Boston  in  the  beautiful  section  known  as  the  Fens.  Looking  from  the  front  windows  of 
the  school,  one  may  see  at  one  side  a  well-kept  baseball  diamond,  and  in  front  a  broad,  green 
park  with  a  beautiful  boulevard  winding  in  and  out,  the  whole  forming  a  pleasing  fore- 
ground to  the  quiet  Charles  River  just  beyond.  This  park  is  rapidly  becoming  a  ver}' 
picturesque  educational  centre  of  Boston.  The  new  Art  Museum  when  completed,  will  be 
the  nearest  building  to  our  school  of  those  in  the  park  ;  the  Girls'  Latin  School,  Simmons 
College,  and  the  Harvard  Medical  buildings  are  just  a  little  farther  up  in  this  park.  Elec- 
tric cars  run  by  the  school  every  little  while,  so  that  any  part  of  Boston  may  be  easily  and 
quickly  reached. 

The  medical  building  is  one  of  the  best  equipped  of  its  kind  and  has  the  largest 
enrollment  of  any  medical  school  in  New  England.  At  present,  there  are  about  four  hun- 
dred students  in  the  medical  department  and  over  two  hundred  and  fifty  in  the  dental  school. 
A  college  degree  is  not  required  to  enter  the  school ;  but  the  course  is  full}'  as  difficult 
as  that  of  those  schools  which  require  a  degree  in  order  to  enter.  Statistics  show  that 
Tufts  graduates  compare  very  favorably  with  graduates  of  other  medical  schools.  In  the 
last  classification  of  the  American  Medical  Association  our  school  was  placed  in  Class  i,  this 

114 


MEDICAL   AND   DENTAL 


115 


classification  being  the  result  of  an  analysis  of  the  standing  before  State  Boards  throughout 
the  country  of  the  graduates  of  various  schools. 

The  medical  course  is  a  four  year  one,  and  the  dental  requires  three  years.  The  first 
two  years  are  spent  mostly  in  the  school,  and  in  the  last  two  a  great  deal  of  hospital  work  is 
done.  There  are  no  dormitories  connected  with  the  school  and  the  course  is  so  exacting 
that  there  is  hardly  any  "  college  life  "  such  as  is  found  on  the  Hill.  The  classes  have  their 
annual  banquets  and  the  fraternities  have  dances  now  and  then.  Four  professional  frater- 
nities have  chapters  at  Tufts,  two  medical  and  two  dental. 

The  undergraduates  in  the  professional  schools  are  eligible  to  all  of  the  various  teams 
which  represent  Tufts.  In  1906  a  medical  student  was  captain  of  the  'Varsity  football 
team;  and  in  1907  a  dental  student  is  leader  of  the  Glee  Club. 

The  medical  building  itself  is  a  large,  well  proportioned,  four  storied,  red  brick 
building,  with  ample  accommodation  for  its  many  students.  It  is  heated  from  the  basement 
by  both  the  direct  and  indirect  systems.  In  the  basement  there  is  the  bookstore,  which 
carries,  besides  the  medical  and  dental  supplies,  a  complete  outlay  of  Tufts  banners,  jewelry, 
and  souvenirs.  A  smoking  and  lounging  room  is  next  to  the  bookstore,  and  the  lunchroom 
is  just  beyond  that.  A  dental  infirmary  and  locker  room  take  up  the  rest  of  space  in  the 
basement. 

The  first  floor  has  the  Dean's,  Secretary's,  and  Bursar's  offices,  and  in  one  section  a 
library.  Beyond  the  library  is  a  large,  well-lighted  histological  laboratory  in  which  the 
classes  in  Physiology  and  Histology  perform  their  experiments.  Another  dental  infirmary 
is  on  the  other  side  of  the  building  and  in  this  the  upper  classmen  of  the  Dental  school 

116 


THE    DEAN'S    OFFICE

receive  their  practice.  The  students  do  dentists'  work  with  practically  no  expense  to  the 
patient  and  consequently  they  have  all  the  practice  to  which  they  can  attend. 

The  amphitheatre,  seating  three  hundred  and  fifty  can  be  entered  from  both  the  first 
and  the  second  floors.  Demonstrations  to  all  classes  are  here  given  so  that  some  recitation 
or  lecture  is  almost  always  in  progress  there. 

The  second  floor  contains  the  Prosthetic  laboratory  for  dental  students  and  the 
Pathological  laboratory  for  medical  students.  The  Pathological  laboratory  is  directly  over 
the  Histological  laboratory,  and  the  library  is  well  equipped  with  all  of  the  modern 
improvements. 

On  the  top  floor  are  two  chemical  laboratories,  the  dissecting  room,  and  two  recitation 
rooms.  Both  chemical  laboratories  have  individual  lockers,  gas,  and  cold  water,  and  are 
provided  with  the  best  facilities  for  carrying  on  experiments.  The  dissecting  room  is  one  of 
the  largest  and  cleanest  in  the  State. 

From  the  top  of  the  building  it  is  possible  to  view  the  business  section  of  Boston  in 
one  direction,  and  in  the  opposite  direction  the  Blue  Hills  and  the  large  surrounding  reser- 
vation may  be  seen. 

The  Medical  school  was  established  in  Boston  in  1893,  the  first  regular  session  taking 
place  on  Wednesday,  October  8,  1893,  at  three  o'clock.  The  exercises  were  informal  and 
consisted  of  a  few  opening  remarks  by  Albert  Nott,  Dean  of  the  School  and  Professor  of 
Physiology,  followed  by  an  address  of  greater  length  by  President  Copley. 

The  address  was  very  impressive,  and  the  closing  words  of  President  Copley  :  "  Tufts 
College  never  puts  her  hand  to  the  plough,  and  then  looks  back,"  put  to  rest  any  uncertainty

which  some  of  the  new  students  entertained  as  to  the  future  of  the  school.  The  enrollment 
of  students  for  the  College  year  1893-4  was  eighty  and  twenty-two  were  graduated  with  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Medicine  at  Commencement,  June,  1894,  eight  of  this  number  being 
women.     The  enrollment  of  1906-7  was  376,  and  72  were  graduated. 

The  rapid,  phenomenal  growth  of  the  Medical  School  may  be  traced  to  several  causes. 
It  is  the  only  allopathic  school  in  this  part  of  the  country  which  admits  women  ;  the  entrance 
requirements  do  not  demand  a  college  degree;  it  is  less  expensive  than  most  of  the  other 
schools;   and  it  has  the  clinical  advantages  of  a  large  city. 

The  school  was  first  located  at  188  Boylston  Street,  Boston,  directly  opposite  the 
Public  Gardens,  and  within  a  few  steps  of  Park  Square.  The  growth  of  the  school  made 
larger  accommodations  imperative,  and  the  Chauncey  Hall  School  building  was  rented  tem- 
porarily until  the  next  headquarters,  a  handsome  stone  structure,  situated  upon  the  corners 
of  Rutland  Street,  Shawmut  Avenue,  and  Newland  Street,  costing  about  $75,000  could  be 
erected.  This  building  was  formerly  the  property  of  the  First  Free  Baptist  Church.  The 
site  was  selected  because  of  its  proximity  to  the  Boston  City  Hospital,  the  Boston  Dispensary, 
and  other  charitable  institutions,  its  easy  accessibility,  the  quiet  of  the  neighborhood,  and 
the  opportunity  for  inexpensive  boarding  and  lodging  of  students  in  the  vicinity.  This 
building  remained  the  home  of  the  school  until  1900.  By  vote  of  the  trustees  steps  were 
taken  to  procure  the  present  building. 

The  Tufts  College  Dental  School,  formerly  the  Boston  Dental  College,  and  incorpor- 
ated under  that  name  in  1868,  became  an  incorporate  part  of  Tufts  College  in  1899  through 
a   special  act  of  legislature.     This  was  in  consequence  of  the  new  anatomical  laws  of  the 


THE    LIBRARY— MEDICAL   SCHOOL 


State  and  because  its  former  Board  of  Trustees  felt  that  the  advance  in  dental  education 
rendered  it  desirable  that  the  more  purely  scientific  portion  of  its  curriculum  should  be 
carried  on  in  connection  with  a  medical  school. 

In  the  Medical  School  are  found  chapters  of  two  of  the  men's  professional  fraternities: 
Gamma  Chapter  of  Alpha  Kappa  Kappa,  and  Phi  Theta  Chi  Fraternity.  Alpha  Kappa 
Kappa  was  founded  at  the  Medical  Department  of  Dartmouth  College,  September  28,  1888 
and  in  1889  was  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  New  Hampshire,  Gamma 
Chapter  was  formed  in  1893.  Honorary  members  are  provided  for  but  it  is  necessary  that 
they  be  graduates  in  medicine. 

April  21,  1894  a  women's  society  was  formed  here  under  the  name  of  Alpha  Delta. 

In  the  Dental  School,  Psi  Omega  Fraternity  is  represented  by  the  Delta  Chapter  which 
was  formed  in  1895.  This  fraternity  was  organized  at  the  Baltimore  College  of  Dental 
Surgery,  in  1892.  Also  here  is  found  the  Mu  Chapter  of  Delta  Sigma  Delta,  a  fraternity 
founded  in  the  Dental  Department  of  the  University  of  Michigan  on  March  5,  1883,  designed 
to  be  confined  to  schools  of  dentistry.  To  elevate  the  morals  and  tone  of  the  practice  of 
dentistry  among  its  members  is  one  of  the  chief  objects  of  the  society.  The  Mu  Chapter  was 
organized  in  1897  when  the  Tufts  Dental  School  was  still  the  Boston  Dental  College. 

Phi  Theta  Chi  is  a  local  medical  fraternity  and  was  founded  five  years  ago  by  three 
medical  students.  This  society  takes  in  members  in  the  same  manner  as  the  other  frater- 
nities, and  provision  is  also  made  for  honorary  members. 

The  fraternity  has  rooms  on  Albemarle  Street,  a  short  distance  from  the  school.  At 
frequent  intervals  talks  are  given  under  the  auspices  of  Phi  Theta  Chi  by  men  well-versed 
in  medical  science.     These  talks  are  open  to  any  one  interested  in  the  subject.

The  fraternities  at  the  Medical  and  Dental  Schools  are  of  course  much  different  from 
the  national  societies  represented  on  the  Hill,  although  the  same  purposes  and  same  feeling 
may  be  found  in  them. 

One  reason  for  the  greater  influence  of  the  fraternities  on  the  Hill  is  that  the  students 
of  the  Medical  Schools  do  not  have  the  time  to  devote  to  fraternal  activities,  as  do  the  men 
in  the  academic  departments.  Consequently  the  fraternities  in  the  Medical  School  have 
developed  more  after  the  manner  of  clubs,  but  undoubtedly  they  fill  a  place  in  the  life  of  the 
Medical  School  that  could  not  be  filled  in  any  other  way. 

In  a  social  way  the  fraternities  are  permanent;  they  give  dances  and  banquets  at 
frequent  intervals  throughout  the  year,  and  these  are  as  a  rule  well  attended  by  the  under- 
graduate body.

When  it  is  remembered  that  American  baseball  is  not  older  than  the  sixties,  it  will  be 
seen  that  the  writer's  title  brings  him  very  close  to  the  beginning  of  things.  The  game 
could  not  have  been  played  more  than  four  or  five  years  when  he  entered  College  in  1866. 
But  it  had  then  taken  a  strong  hold,  and  during  the  years  he  knew  it  in  College,  developed 
very  rapidly.  Those  were  the  days  when  the  pitcher  must  stand  with  his  feet  placed  on  the 
ground,  and  deliver  the  ball  with  a  stiff  arm  ;  all  his  speed  must  come  from  what  twist  and 
snap  he  could  get  from  his  wrist,  and  the  only  way  he  could  "fool''  a  striker,  was  by  varying 
the  pace  of  the  ball.  The  catcher  of  those  games  stood  up  without  a  mask,  pad,  or  gloves, 
and  often  carried  a  black  eye  or  a  broken  nose  as  a  souvenir  "  off  the  bat."  Scores  were 
something  tremendous  especially  in  class  games,  in  which  the  lame,  the  halt,  the  near-sighted 
and  the  left  handed  were  pressed  into  service  to  fill  the  nine.  In  the  memorable  game  be- 
tween '69  and  '70,  in  the  fall  of  '66  the  score  mounted  to  64  for  the  Freshmen  and  56  for  the 
Sophomores  at  the  end  of  the  eighth  inning  when  the  game  was  called  on  account  of  dark- 
ness.    One  hundred  and  twenty  runs  in  the  whole  game! 

Some  of  the  players  of  those  days  will  never  be  forgotton  by  their  contemporaries. 
For  a  plucky  catcher,  at  once  nervous  and  nervy,  we  are  always  ready  to  refer  our  juniors  to. 
"Stetson,"  who  back-stopped  many  a  fine  game  for  Tufts.  Henry  Harris  at  left  field  was 
a  sure  captor  of  anything  that  came  his  way,  and  his  long  throws  from  out  field  to  home  base 
trapped  many  an  unwary  runner,  who  had  not  seen  "Our  Henry  "  get  them  back.  Everett 
White  or  "•  Alba  Longa  "  was  literally  a  tower  of  strength  at  first  base.  He  was  nearly  as 
tall  as  the  Tower  of  Babel,  and  had  a  hand  like  a  steam-shovel.  If  ever  he  missed  an  over- 
126

127 


throw,  it  was  because  the  ball  landed  among  the  constellations  or  inside  the  Rez.  Perhaps 
the  coolest  and  the  boldest  of  players  in  those  days  was  Cornell  of  '69,  shortstop  for  several 
years  and  surnamed  "  Hoosier."  He  was  deliberate  and  slow  almost  to  the  point  of  lazi- 
ness. But  somehow  he  was  always  "  there ''  and  had  the  ball.  When  a  hot  grounder  would 
come  sizzling  towards  him  at  short  field  he  would  begin  a  conversation  with  the  batsman, 
pick  up  the  ball  as  quietly  as  if  he  were  digging  potatoes,  straighten  up,  and  address  a  few 
remarks  to  first  baseman  as  to  what  was  coming,  and  then  send  the  sphere  down  to  first  so 
far  ahead  of  the  runner  that  the  baseman  would  run  up  the  line  to  meet  him  on  the  way  and 
tell  him  the  news  ;  and  then  Hoosier  would  chuckle  and  make  pleasant  remarks  as  to  the 
futility  of  bucking  against  Tufts. 

Yes  ;  we  had  good  men  in  those  days,  and  they  could  play  ball.  Baseball  in  the 
seventies  was  a  purely  amateur  game,  and  we  played  it  for  the  honor  of  Alma  Mater,  and  for 
the  love  of  a  noble  sport. 

So  strong  did  the  football  team  become,  that  in  1875  a  crushing  defeat  was  administered 
to  Harvard,  on  their  own  field.  The  make-up  of  this  famous  team  has  become  a  matter  of 
historical  interest  about  the  college  aud  the  names  of  the  players  are  here  given.  L,.  W. 
Aldrich,  '76,  Captain;  P.  B.  Harrington,  '77:  A.  B.  Fletcher,  '76;  P.  N.  Branch,  '77; 
H.  D.  Nash,  '77;  C.  L.  Cushman,  '78;  A.  P.  French,  '76;  C.  A.  Sprague,  '76;  H.  L. 
Whithed,  '77  ;  W.  M.  Perry,  '78  ;  L.  M.  Ballou,  '78.  The  strength  of  these  teams  lay  to  a 
great  extent  in  the  way  in  which  the  entire  college  took  part  in  athletic  sports,  making  easier 
the  selection  on  account  of  the  number  of  men  participating.  J.  C.  A-

Ehr  (Slasa  of  18  TO 

The  class  of  1870  only  graduated  nine  men  in  its  classical  course  —  just  enough  for  a 
baseball  team  —  and  was  headed,  alphabetically,  by  Adams  and  footed  by  Warren.  It  is  a 
striking  fact  that  these  two  men,  sitting  at  opposite  ends  of  the  same  class,  should  be  its  only 
scholars,  and  that  the  last  should  be  first,  and  the  first  second  in  scholarship.  Their  early 
promise  has  been  made  good.  Adams  has  long  been  a  leading  minister  in  the  Universalist 
denomination  and  has  gracefully  and  honorably  borne  the  title  of  D.D.  Warren  took  excel- 
lent rank  in  every  college  study,  but  most  loved  Greek  and  Latin.  After  teaching  a  few 
years  with  marked  success,  he  took  a  post  graduate  course  at  Yale,  and  then  spent  four  years 
at  English  and  German  Universities  in  the  study  of  Greek,  Latin,  and  comparative  philology. 
Upon  his  return  from  Europe,  he  went  as  instructor  in  Latin  to  John  Hopkins;  later,  became 
full  professor,  and  there  remained  until  called  to  Harvard  as  Pope  professor  of  Latin.  Just 
as  these  lines  are  being  written,  comes  word  of  his  sudden  death.  He  has  fought  the  good 
fight;  he  has  done  much  to  make  the  world  in  which  he  lived,  wiser  and  better,  and  died 
universally  respected  by  all  men  who  knew  him.  Every  man  of  1870  Tufts  mourns  for  him, 
but  every  man  gives  thanks  that  Warren  did  so  much  to  honor  himself,  his  class,  and  his 
college.  W.  B.  F.

fttustral  (Clubs 

The  early  records  of  Glee  Club  work  at  Tufts  College  are  very  fragmentary.  Several 
short-lived  quartets  and  clubs  were  formed,  and  the  "College  Glee  Club  :'  of  1876-77  laid  the 
foundation  of  that  reputation  which  the  Glee  Club  has  long  held,  through  a  short  Maine 
trip;  but  it  was  not  until  the  year  1884-85  that  the  record  of  the  beginnings  of  the  present 
Glee  Club  was  formed. 

During  the  year  1884-85,  Prof.  Leo  R.  Lewis,  '87,  then  a  student,  called  several  meet- 
ings of  the  students  in  an  endeavor  to  arouse  enthusiasm  for  the  formation  of  a  Glee  Club. 
Little  genuine  interest  was  evidenced  so  that  the  effort  was  abandoned  until  the  following 
year,  when  better  success  ensued.  A  club  was  formed  which  began  work  as  a  choir,  singing 
for  the  first  time  in  chapel,  Sunday,  December  27,  1885.  The  following  March  the  Club 
made  its  first  appearance  in  the  field  of  regular  Glee  Club  work,  at  an  entertainment  in  the 
Universalist  Church  of  East  Cambridge.  During  this  season  D.  L.  Maulsby,  '87;  L.  R. 
Lewis,  '87;  C.  H.  Patterson,  '87;  and  J.  H.  Holden,  '88,  acted  as  readers.  Professor  Lewis 
directed  this  first  successful  season. 

From  October  1,  1889  to  April  1,  1890  the  Club  was  leased  to  G.  A.  Jones  of  Boston, 
the  contract  terms  giving  him  exclusive  control  of  all  engagements  during  that  time,  not 
more  than  two  a  week  or  on  two  consecutive  nights,  save  those  of  the  Christmas  trip  and  the 
concerts  on  the  Hill. 

Since  '92  the  Club  has  been  under  the  guidance  of  Professor  Lewis  and  has  main- 
tained an  enviable  reputation.

The  Mid- Year  concerts  held  in  the  Chapel  on  two  consecutive  nights  are  gala  affairs; 
but  the  annual  trips  surpass  any  single  event.  Usually  the  clubs  have  visited  Maine  at 
Christmas  and  New  York  State  in  the  Spring.  In  1907  a  short  trip  was  taken  to  Vermont 
during  the  Mid- Year  recess. 

The  annual  Maine  trip  is  probably  the  most  enjoyed.  For  one  thing,  it  is  the  first 
journey,  so  that  a  new  member  looks  forward  to  it  with  great  anticipation,  while  the  old 
member  hails  the  renewal  of  warm  friendships  made  in  hospitable  Maine. 

The  endless  experiences  and  gaities  that  ensue  are  the  tale  of  a  long  evening.  In  the 
daytime  they  travel  through  the  snow-covered  country,  go  snow-shoeing  and  sleigh  riding. 
In  the  evening  dances  follow  in  rapid  succession.  The  men  are  constantly  meeting  new 
faces  and  making  new  friends.  There  is  always  a  main  street  in  the  city  or  town  where  one 
hails  one's  brother  Tufts  men  with,  "  Where  are  you  staying?  "  and  "  Where's  the  post 
office?  "  What  wonderful  sense  of  location  these  men  acquire!  If  you  should  bury  them 
to  the  neck  in  the  sands  of  darkest  Africa,  there  is  no  doubt  but  that  they  would  be  at  the 
station  next  morning  just  in  time  to  take  the  Grand  Trunk  Line. 

At  last  the  trip  is  over  and  they  return  to  the  Hill,  thoroughly  satisfied  with  their 
good  times,  yet  glad  to  see  old  Tufts  once  more.  Now  they  have  a  subject  for  many  an 
English  theme. 

These  trips  are  not  only  a  great  education  for  the  men,  in  that  other  colleges  and 
cities  are  visited,  and  the  social  life  has  a  good  refining  influence, ^but  they  also  serve  to 
spread  the  name  of  Tufts,

In  1875,  when  Tufts'  first  organized  football  team  sent  a  challenge  to  Harvard,  and 
was  in  turn  challenged,  football  had  by  no  means  assumed  its  present-da}-  proportions,  either 
in  its  science  or  in  the  general  interest  evoked.  In  fact,  for  some  years,  football  was  not  an 
annual  event. 

But  all  that  period  of  changeable  enthusiasms  is  over ;  for  football  has  come  to  stay, 
bringing  with  it  honor  for  Tufts.  One  thing  effecting  this  change  for  the  better  is  the  intro- 
duction of  "coaching,"  an  institution  which  shows  its  value  in  general  team  improvement. 
The  coaching  of  Dr.  Charles  Whalen,  M.  '06,  has  given  Tufts  some  fine  teams,  and  the 
men  who  have  helped  make  up  those  teams  have  done  as  much  for  their  Alma  Mater  by 
their  clean  playing,  their  desire  to  win  fairly,  as  they  have  by  their  victories.  As  long  as 
this  spirit  is  inherent  in  the  football  men,  one  has  no  need  to  fear  for  the  future  of  football 
at  Tufts.

One  of  the  most  successful  of  Tufts  teams  is  represented  in  baseball.  This  branch  of 
college  activity  has  always  been  very  strong,  ever  since  its  introduction  into  the  College.  In 
recent  years,  under  the  able  coaching  of  Fred  Tenney, captain  of  the  Boston  Nationals,  several 
remarkably  fine  teams  have  represented  Tufts  on  the  diamond.  Victories  over  Yale,  Dart- 
mouth, Alabama,  and  many  other  strong  college  teams  have  gone  down  in  Tufts  baseball 
history.  A  look  at  the  trophy  case  in  Goddard  Gymnasium  will  convince  anyone  that  Tufts 
is  unusually  strong  in  this  department  of  college  activity. 

The  squad  is  called  out  in  February  for  cage  work,  and  as  soon  as  weather  conditions 
permit,  outdoor  practice  is  begun,  and  the  squad  gradually  reduced.  Although  somewhat 
handicapped  last  year  the  results  show  a  very  successful  season,  and  a  promise  for  an  equally 
successful  one  this  coming  spring.

Although  a  comparatively  new  sport  at  Tufts,  basketball  has  taken  a  place  of  promi- 
nence as  a  branch  of  intercollegiate  athletics.  Last  year  Tufts  was  represented  by  an 
exceedingly  fast  team,  and  if  expectations  are  realized,  the  team  this  year  may  be  expected 
to  do  even  better.  The  games  are  played  in  the  Gym,  and  probably  the  most  spectacular 
game  last  year  was  that  with  Dartmouth. 

Not  until  1907  were  T's  awarded  for  this  branch  of  sport.  The  team  consists  of  the 
following  men  : 

Forwards:   H.  D.Wilson,  '07;  C.  Seede,  '08;  and  R.  S.  Kimball, '10. 
Knight,  '10.     Gi'ards:  Dwelley,  '07  and  Wallace,  '10.

Track  first  appeared  at  Tufts  in  1874,  the  first  Field  Day  being  held  on  November  4 
of  that  year ;  a  Field  Day  which  is  said  to  resemble  a  modern  Sunday-school  picnic  contest. 
As  all  other  athletic  pursuits,  track  led  at  first  a  half  alive  existence,  with  no  definite  annual 
organization ;  now  it  holds  its  place  in  the  athletic  interest. 

The  first  track  event  of  the  year  is  the  interclass  contest  between  the  two  lower 
classes.  Cross  country  runs  are  held  until  Thanksgiving.  After  Christmas  candidates  are 
called  out  for  the  'Varsity.  Outdoor  training  begins  in  April  and  lasts  until  after  the 
N.  E.  I.  A.  A.  meet.  In  the  winter  an  indoor  class  meet  is  held  in  the  Gymnasium,  and  in 
the  spring  an  outdoor  class  meet  is  held  on  the  Oval. 

The  more  than  usually  successful  season  of  1906  may  be  attributed  to  the  interest  felt. 
More  men  came  out  than  formerly,  with  the  result,  that  our  old  rival  Bowdoin  was  beaten  in 
the  annual  relay  race  at  the  B.  A.  A.  meet,  that  Tufts  won  a  four-cornered  meet  at  Hartford 
against  Trinity,  Holy  Cross,  and  Wesleyan,  and  that  Vermont  was  beaten  at  Burlington  in 
the  only  outdoor  intercollegiate  meet  of  the  year.

Although  indulged  in  for  several  years  as  an  exercise,  fencing  did  not  receive  any 
considerable  attention  till  very  lately,  when  the  revival  of  this  difficult  art  by  some  of  the 
colleges,  created  an  interest  at  Tufts.  Instruction  had  been  given  by  Mr.  Ranlett,  an 
exponent  of  the  West  Point  system,  and  several  fellows  who  were  interested  took  lessons. 
Last  year  a  team  was  organized  and  several  matches  were  held.  Perhaps  the  most  interest- 
ing was  the  one  with  Yale.  The  spectators  were  treated  to  an  excellent  exhibition  of 
fencing,  and  although  Yale  excelled  our  team  in  the  use  of  the  foils,  several  of  the  bouts 
were  close  and  interesting.  Last  year  the  team  was  coached  by  M.  Pianelli,  an  exponent  of 
the  French  system  of  fencing. 

The  team  was  made  up  of  Capt.  H.  D.  A.  Ganteaume,  '07;  and  A.  O.  Todd,  '07:  and 
F.  B.  de  Alvarenga,  '07.

It  was  not  until  the  spring  of  1901  that  debating  at  Tufts  was  put  on  a  firm  basis. 
Previous  to  this  date  it  had  been  rather  spasmodic  and  no  organizations  existed  for  the 
fostering  of  this  activity.  In  that  year  a  temporary  club  was  formed  of  all  those  interested 
in  debating,  and  before  the  end  of  the  season,  this  divided  into  two  rival  societies,  the  Capen 
Club,  named  for  Elmer  Hewitt  Capen,  '6o,  and  the  Knowlton  Club,  named  for  Hosea  Morrill 
Knowlton,  '67.  Thus  a  healthy  spirit  of  rivalry  was  fostered  which  has  continued  to  the 
present.     Inter-club  debates  have  been  held  regularly  every  winter. 

In  1903  a  debating  union  was  entered  into  with  New  York  University,  and  in  1905  a 
similar  agreement  was  made  with  Clark  College.     The  Intercollegiate  teams  last  year  were  : 

For  the  New  York  University  debate:  A.  W.  Benoit,  '07  ;  H.  C.  Mason,  '08 ;  S.  E. 
Darling,  '09;  alternate,  V.  E.  Blagbrough,  '10. 

For  the  Clark  debate:  W.  E.  Blake,  '07:  P.  R.  Moore,  '07;  C.  J.  Masseck,  .'08;  alter- 
nate, P.  W.  Towsley,  'io.

Tower  Cross  was  founded  in  May,  1897.  It  is  an  honorary  Senior  society  with  a 
membership  limit  of  twenty.  Its  sole  object  is  to  "  advance  the  best  interests  of  Tufts  Col- 
lege by  maintaining  a  high  standard  of  loyalty  among  the  undergraduates."  The  badge  is 
a  plain  gold  Roman  cross,  symbolizing  the  ideal  which  is  represented  by  the  cross  at  the  top 
of  the  Chapel  tower.     Its  motto  is,  "  For  the  Highest." 

In  December,  1896,  several  members  of  the  Senior  class  began  an  agitation  for  the 
founding  of  an  honorary  Senior  society,  which  should  serve  to  unite  the  undergraduates  in  a 
closer  loyalty,  and  which  at  the  same  time  should  offer  an  incentive  to  greater  activity  and 
an  honor  to  the  chosen  members.  The  interest  and  approval  of  the  Faculty  was  enlisted, 
and  at  last  a  Faculty  committee  of  five  was  appointed  to  choose  the  charter  members  of  the 
organization.  On  May  3,  1897,  the  names  of  thirteen  members  of  '97  were  approved,  and  on 
May  1 1,  1897,  the  first  meeting  was  held.  The  Faculty  has  reserved  the  right  to  discontinue 
the  society  at  any  time  after  June,  1899,  if  in  its  opinion  the  effect  should  become  in  any  way 
harmful,  but  this  prerogative  has  never  been  exercised. 

Membership  in  Tower  Cross  is  considered  one  of  the  highest,  if  not  the  highest  of  all 
honors  in  the  power  of  the  undergraduates  to  bestow.  It  is  self-perpetuating.  Its  functions 
are  usually  interpreted  as  purely  executive,  and  it  affords  an  excellent  means  of  communica- 
tion between  Faculty  and  undergraduates.  Founded  by  the  students,  through  sufferance  of 
the  Faculty,  it  occupies  a  unique  position  of  honor  and  trust  at  the  Hill.  H.  J.  S.

The  Ivy  is  the  honorary  Junior  society  which  was  organized  at  Tufts  College  in  the 
spring  of  1901  by  members  of  the  class  of  1902.  Its  membership  includes  representatives  of 
all  the  fraternities  and  of  the  non-fraternity  body.  The  efforts  of  the  society  are  directed 
towards  College  and  class  interests,  and  special  attention  is  toward  breaking  down  the  fac- 
tional lines  in  college.  The  badge  is  in  the  form  of  a  gold  ivy  leaf  with  a  T  raised  in  green 
upon  it. 

Since  1902  the  society  has  published  what  is  known  as  the  "Freshman  Bible,"  a 
Tufts  hand-book  which  contains  important  information  about  the  College  and  is  a  useful 
guide  to  the  new-comers  as  well  as  to  the  rest  of  the  student  body.  Copies  are  distributed  to 
the  undergraduates  at  the  opening  of  each  college  year.  By  this  publication  alone,  the  soci- 
ety may  well  justify  its  existence. 

Various  other  lines  of  work  are  undertaken  from  year  to  year,  and  particular  mention 
should  be  made  of  the  Tufts  Song-book,  published  by  the  1907  Ivy.  One  of  the  latest  enter- 
prises is  the  inauguration  of  the  College  "  Sings  "  in  the  spring  of  1907.

The  first  brass  band  of  Tufts  College  was  organized  in  1884  under  the  leadership  of 
C.  F.  Borden,  '85,  who  played  the  E-flat  cornet.  Beside  the  leader  there  were  three  cornets, 
two  altos,  two  tenors,  an  E-flat  bass,  piccolo,  tenor  drum,  bass  drum,  and  cymbals. 

However,  this  organization  did  not  last  long,  and  a  college  band  was  not  formed  again 
until  the  spring  of  1903  when  the  question  of  having  such  an  organization  was  agitated. 
Ivy  Society  took  the  matter  up,  and  sufficient  interest  was  evinced  to  warrant  a  definite 
organization.  Professor  Lewis  was  willing  to  undertake  the  direction  of  the  rehearsals, 
giving  the  effort  his  hearty  co-operation  and  support.  Through  an  appropriation  of  the  Col- 
lege Bookstore  a  number  of  instruments  were  purchased  on  the  advice  of  Professor  Lewis 
and  Jean  Missud  of  the  Salem  Cadet  Band.  The  work  was  not  very  promising  since  many 
of  the  men  were  inexperienced  and  the  majority  were  undergraduates ;  still  this  effort  was 
not  entirely  successful,  although  it  served  to  pave  the  way. 

In  the  fall  of  1905  Professor  Lewis  again  took  up  the  work  of  organizing  a  band,  and 
Dow,  '09,  of  the  Medical  School  was  elected  leader. 

From  then  until  the  fall  of  1907  the  band  existed  but  not  very  definitely.  In  the  fall 
of  1907  the  work  was  again  taken  up  with  much  success,  and  it  seems  as  though  at  last  the 
wish  for  a  college  band  has  been  realized.  Excellent  work  was  done  on  the  Bowdoin  Trip 
and  much  pride  is  taken  in  the  organization.  C.  E.  Soper,  'io  has  been  elected  leader. 
The  Musical  Clubs  have  voted  $100  toward  the  purchase  of  musical  instruments,  while  the 
women  of  the  College  have  loyally  aided,  by  the  working  of  coverings  for  the  band 
instruments.

(Class  lao 

It  is  a  bright  June  morning,  the  sun  is  high  above  the  horizon,  the  breezes  on  the 
hill  are  pure  and  fragrant,  the  trees  are  beautiful  in  their  summer  foliage,  the  campus  is  as 
soft  and  green  as  an  English  garden,  the  walks  are  trimmed  and  in  perfect  order,  the  old 
halls  are  silent  and  stately.  There  is  no  rush  of  students,  no  professors  hurrying  for  classes, 
no  chapel  bell.  Ballou  is  decorated  as  if  to  greet  a  nation's  guest,  and  the  Brown  and  Blue 
is  flying  in  the  air.  Here  and  there  are  a  few  Seniors  in  cap  and  gown  —  it  is  Class  Day  at 
Tufts.  At  nine  o'clock  the  Seniors  form  south  of  Ballou  Hall  and  slowly  proceed  to  the 
chapel  —  "last  chapel"  for  them.  There  is  no  hurry  to  anticipate  the  closing  door,  no 
crowd  of  underclassmen  ;  for  today  the  Seniors  are  alone  with  the  President.  And  for  the 
last  time  in  their  lives,  they  meet  as  a  class,  to  join  in  the  simple  liturgy  of  morning  prayer. 
It  is  the  service  so  common  to  them  ;  the  same  service  in  which  they  have  united  morning 
after  morning  during  their  four  years  of  life  on  the  Hill,  but  today  it  is  more  impressive  than 
ever  before. 

After  chapel  the  festivities  of  the  day  begin.  Guests  begin  to  arrive,  and  soon  the 
Hill  is  a  scene  of  gaiety  and  life.  By  eleven  o'clock  the  chapel  is  crowded  with  friends  of 
the  graduating  class  who  are  eagerly  waiting  for  the  entrance  of  Seniors.  The  music  grows 
softer,  the  audience  rises,  as  the  class  appears  at  the  entrance  of  the  chapel.  Down  the  main 
aisle  they  proceed  and  here  divide  as  the  Orator,  Poet  and  two  presidents  pass  through  to 
the  platform.  There  is  a  brief  address  of  welcome  by  the  Senior  president,  prayer  by  the 
President  of  the  College,  and  then  the  hour  is  occupied  by  the  Orator  and  Poet  as  they  pour 
forth  their  eloquence  on  the  heads  of  the  assembled  multitude.  The  program  is  brought  to 
154 


CLASS    OK    uio; 


155 


a  close  by  the  singing  of  the  Class  Ode  by  the  Seniors.  As  the  class  disperses  one  can  but 
feel  that  it  has  been  a  solemn  service.  It  is  the  parting  of  friends.  It  is  the  severing  of 
friendships  too  strong  to  be  easily  broken.  Only  as  the  ceremony  draws  to  a  close  does  its 
full  sadness  dawn  upon  us. 

But  this  is  a  day  of  pleasure  and  gladness,  so  let  us  make  merry.  Dinner  is  quickly 
over  and  the  crowd  gathers  for  the  exercises  of  the  afternoon.  This  is  the  great  event. 
Under  the  historic  old  tree  between  the  chapel  and  Ballou  is  erected  the  rostrum.  Here 
where  for  years  Tufts  men  have  gathered  on  Class  Day;  here  near  the  site  where  "Old 
Fortunatus  "  was  played  ;  here  on  the  campus  of  Tufts  are  held  the  Tree  Exercises.  Long 
before  the  hour  there  is  a  crowd  waiting.  Hundreds  of  happy  visitors  throng  the  campus 
which  becomes  a  vast  garden  of  human  faces,  while  the  scene  is  made  beautiful  by  the  many- 
colored  dresses  of  the  fair  sex.  Still  they  come.  Every  path  leads  to  the  "  Tree."  Back 
in  the  quadrangle  another  scene  is  taking  place.  Classes  are  forming  ;  class  marshals  are 
calling,  "  Freshmen  this  way."  A  group  of  "  Sophs  "  are  waving  their  canes  and  shouting. 
All  are  rushing  to  get  in  line  for  the  long  procession  of  classes,  in  which  the  Seniors  have 
the  place  of  honor.  Finally  all  is  ready  and  the  march  begins.  It  seems  like  an  endless 
line  which  finally  gathers  around  the  tree.  First  the  "  Brown  and  Blue  "  is  sung,  then  the 
Orator  steps  into  the  rostrum  and  delivers  the  traditional  Tree  Oration,  concluding  with  a 
parting  word  of  counsel  to  his  class.  Another  Tufts  song  and  the  Historian  has  the  floor. 
If  one  ever  doubted  the  virtue  and  excellence  of  a  college  class  let  him  listen  to  a  Senior 
historian  and  at  once  his  doubts  would  be  dispelled  for  ever. 

Next  comes  the  Marshal  with  his  gifts  to  underclasses,  who  humbly  bow  before*  the 
grand  old  Senior  to  receive  instruction.     The  Junior  gets  a  toy  pistol  or  soldier  cap  to  remind 
156

him  of  his  bravery  (?) .  Of  course  the  Sophomores  get  the  old  shoes  with  assurance  that  they 
will  lead  to  the  paths  of  wisdom  so  familiar  to  the  Senior.  The  Freshmen  receive  some 
child's  story  book  or  other  help  to  future  knowledge. 

Not  the  least  important  feature  of  the  Tree  Exercises  is  the  cheering  by  classes. 
Surrounding  the  rostrum  on  three  sides  the  students  sit  in  a  sort  of  amphitheatre,  rising  in 
tiers.  First  come  the  Juniors,  then  the  Sophomores  and  Freshmen.  Six  cheers  are  usually 
given  —  these  being  for  Barnum,  the  Trustees,  the  President,  Faculty,  Athletics,  and  last 
of  all  the  regular  college  cheer.  Each  class  in  order  of  seniority  gives  a  cheer  on  each  of 
these  subjects  and  great  is  the  rivalry  among  the  three  classes  to  see  which  shall  carry  off 
the  honors  in  this  department.     Two  cheers  of  last  Class  Day  were  especially  good  : 

Trustees  : 

litre's  your  term  bill 

Dig  deep  and  squeeze, 
What !   No  money  ! 
Heat  it  ! 

Trustees. 

P.  T.  Barnum  : 

Harvard  has  its  orange  man,  the  bull  dog  stands  for  Yale, 
Princeton  has  its  tiger  with  its  black  and  orange  tail, 
But  Tufts  has  Barnum's  Jumbo  —  a  might}'  beast  is  he, 
Possessing  more  backbone  than  all  the  other  three. 

Although  Class  Day  is  a  fairly  recent  innovation  —  it  was  not  put  on  a  firm  basis  until 
the  early  '90's  —  it  has  endeared  itself  to  the  hearts  of  all  true  sons  of  Tufts,  and  bids  fair  to 
be  an  institution  which  shall  last  as  long  as  the  college.     It  is  so  different  from  most  college

gala  days  that  it  is  a  relief,  and  the  beautiful  scenery  of  the  Hill  makes  it  a  day  long  to  be 
remembered. 

Class  Day  is  the  Seniors  own  day.  They  have  full  charge  of  all  arrangements— -  and 
it  must  be  said  that  the  task  is  no  slight  one.  The  thousands  of  people  are  always  orderly 
and  well-behaved  and  no  trouble  has  ever  been  experienced  in  handling  the  great  crowds  of 
people.  A  recent  custom  is  the  Class  Day  of  the  Medical  School  which  is  held  on  the  Hill 
on  the  afternoon  and  evening  of  Commencement  Day.  The  exercises  of  the  class  are  held 
in  the  chapel  at  4.00  o'clock,  after  which  the  class  and  their  friends  adjourn  to  the  Gym 
where  a  banquet  is  served.  In  the  evening  a  band  concert  is  given  on  the  campus,  and  a 
dance  in  Goddard  Gymnasium. 

After  singing  the  "  Campus  Song  "  the  traditional  cheering  of  buildings  is  repeated. 
Stately  Seniors  and  gay  Sophomores  join  arms,  and  headed  by  the  band,  march  down  the 
quadrangle,  where  every  building  is  given  its  shower  of  yells.  "  Short  yell  for  the  gym," 
calls  the  Marshal  ;  "  Locomotive  cheer  for  the  Chapel  ;  "  "  Long  cheer  for  Ballon  ;  "  "  Spell 
it  out  —  with  Barnum  on  the  end  ;  "  and  so  on,  every  building  is  honored. 

Here  where  they  have  yelled  at  rushes,  here  where  the}'  have  cheered  after  victories, 
here  again  they  give  a  long  farewell  cheer  for  Tufts,  Tufts,  Tufts  ! 

The  next  few  hours  are  spent  in  enjoying  private  and  "  Frat  "  spreads  and  then  the 
promenade.  Every  building  is  open.  Students  are  busy  pointing  out  places  of  interest  and 
telling  stories  of  college  life. 

As  evening  draws  near  Japanese  lanterns  begin  to  appear,  and  soon  the  Hill  is  a  fairy- 
land of  sparkling  colored  lights.  The  crowd  increases  until  there  are  thousands  on  the 
Campus  and  around  the  "  Rex."  while  the  Glee  Club  sings  the  songs  that  have  made  Tufts

famous,  and  are  dear  to  every  Tufts  man.     Now  and  then  the  band  will  strike  up  Pax  et 
Lux,  or  Hurrah  for  Tufts,  and  the  crowd  joins  in  the  refrain. 

Over  in  the  "  Gym  "  another  crowd  is  dancing  until  it  is  too  tired  to  move. 

As  the  visitors  dwindle  away  and  Tufts  men  are  left  alone  on  the  Hill,  little  groups  are 
gathered  "  here  and  there,"  in  a  student's  room  to  talk  over  the  day,  and  bid  good-bye,  and 
perhaps  a  Senior  sits  alone  long  after  midnight,  and  as  a  sigh  escapes,  he  wonders  if  other 
Class  Days  can  ever  be  as  happy  as  his. 

In  truth,  Class  Day  is  one  of  the  most  important  if  not  the  most  important  day  of  all 
the  college  year.  It  is  not  only  a  happy  day  for  the  undergraduate,  but  for  the  alumni  as 
well.  Watch  carefully,  all  of  you,  at  any  Class  Day,  and  you  will  see  countless  meetings, 
hearty  handshakes,  as  old  classmates  and  friends  meet  again.  And  then  they  repair  to  some 
quiet  corner  of  the  shaded  lawns  to  renew  old  ties  and  call  up  memories  of  those  happy  college 
days  when  they  were  boys. 

And  the  underclassmen,  how  interesting  it  is  to  watch  some  of  them.  Here  a  Fresh- 
man is  vainly  trying  to  make  his  room  correspond  to  some  ideal  of  what  a  college  room 
should  be.  He  frantically  arranges  pillows,  chairs,  etc.,  for  isn't  She  coming  out,  and  isn't 
this  a  great  day  for  him  ? 

Perhaps  one  of  the  most  enjoyable  incidents  of  Class  Day  on  the  Hill  are  the  fraternity 
spreads,  from  5.00  to  7.00.  The  dinner  at  noon  in  the  Gym  is  all  right,  but  these  partake 
more  of  the  nature  of  family  parties.  From  among  the  palms  and  ferns  within  the  houses, 
the  orchestras  weave  their  dreamy  spell  ;  on  the  lawn,  countless  tables  hold  the  throng  of 
hattering  guests.  Charmingly  gowned  women,  and  waiters  moving  noiselessly  about,  make 
a  charming  picture  —  one  not  soon  forgotten.

President  Capen  had  planned  the  features  that  marked  the  celebration  of  the  semi- 
centennial of  the  founding  of  Tufts  College,  when  his  death,  March  22,  1905,  threw  the 
burden  upon  his  associates.     Dr.  Hamilton  presided  at  all  the  public  exercises. 

These  exercises  included  the  Commemoration  sermon,  by  Rev.  Dr.  W.  H.  Rider,  '69  ; 
the  unveiling  of  Cyrus  Cobb's  bust  of  the  second  president  of  the  College,  Dr.  Miner,  with 
an  historical  address  by  Mr.  Hosea  Starr  Ballou  ;  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  oration  by  Rev.  Dr. 
Henry  Blanchard,  '59,  and  the  poem  by  Rev.  Dr.  Dwight  M.  Hodge,  H  '05  ;  the  Fourth 
Reunion  Concert  of  the  musical  clubs,  in  charge  of  Prof.  Leo  R.  Lewis,  '87,  with  an  aug- 
mented chorus  of  men's  and  women's  voices;  the  Forty-ninth  Annual  Commencement,  and 
Commemoration  Day. 

Tuesday,  June  20,  was  celebrated  as  Commencement  Day,  on  which  occasion  two 
honorary  degrees  were  conferred  ;  and  one  hundred  and  eighty-three  degrees  in  course. 
At  the  Commencement  dinner  among  the  speakers  were  the  four  deans  of  the  college  —  Dr. 
Leonard,  Dr.  Shipman,  Dr.  Williams,  and  Dr.  Anthony. 

The  gathering  of  eminent  men  on  Commencement  Day  was  unequalled  in  the  history 
of  the  College.  The  guests  included  Governor  Douglas,  General  Chaffee,  and  Kogoro 
Takahira,  envoy  from  Japan,  together  with  visiting  college  officials  and  others  who  had  done 
noble  service  in  science,  letters,  and  religion.     Fifty-two  honorary  degrees  were  conferred. 

The  significant  feature  of  the  celebration  was  the  great  gathering  of  friends  of  the 
College.  Our  illustration  shows  some  of  the  most  distinguished  of  these  as  they  occupied 
the  chancel  of  Goddard  Chapel  on  Commemoration  Day.  D.  L.  M.

DIGNITARIES    AT   COMMENCEMENT-

The  spring  of  1906  was  made  memorable  by  the  revival  of  an  Elizabethan  play,  "The 
Pleasant  Comedy  of  Old  Fortunatus,"  by  Thomas  Dekker.  The  presentation  was  under 
the  direction  of  Prof.  Thomas  Whittemore  of  the  English  Department,  and  the  artistic 
success  of  the  venture  was  notable.  Several  years  before  a  production  of  "  Comus  "  had 
been  given,  but  it  was  by  no  means  as  elaborate  as  the  production  of  "  Old  Fortunatus." 

The  parts,  with  two  exceptions,  were  taken  by  students  of  the  College,  and  several  of 
the  actors  approached  the  rank  of  professionals,  by  their  remarkably  sympathetic  portrayals. 
The  undertaking  was  rendered  the  more  difficult  by  the  lack  of  precedent  for  performance, 
the  play  not  having  been  given  since  its  first  production  before  Queen  Elizabeth  ;  but  care- 
ful investigation  of  the  period  surmounted  all  difficulties. 

A  satisfactory  edition  of  the  play  was  lacking,  and  to  supply  the  want,  a  text  based 
upon  that  of  the  Mermaid  Series,  edited  by  Ernest  Rhys  was  prepared,  and  printed  at  the 
Tufts  College  Press. 

A  feature  of  the  performance  was  the  music,  which  was  arranged  by  Prof.  Leo  R. 
Lewis  from  tunes  of  the  period.  No  mention  of  the  original  music  was  found  in  any  edition 
of  the  play,  and  extended  search  in  American  and  European  libraries  failed  to  throw  any 
light  on  the  subject.  Careful  selection  was  therefore  made  from  works  of  the  period.  Sev- 
eral numbers  were  adapted  from  Stafford  Smith's  "  Musica  Antiqua  "  and  Edward  Naylor's 
"Shakespeare  and  Music."  The  harmonizations  were  made  with  the  utmost  care,  and  no 
musical  forms  were  used  which  were  unknown  to  the  composers  of  the  time.     A  further

effort  was  made  to  reproduce  the  musical  effects  of  the  early  seventeenth  century  in  the 
choice  of  instruments  for  the  orchestra. 

For  the  designs  of  the  costumes,  recourse  was  had  to  the  works  of  such  painters  as 
Corvus,  Holbein,  Geldrop,  Zuccaro,  Von  Somer,  Gheerhaldts,  and  Van  Mirrevelt.  The 
stuffs  used  were  rich  and  brilliant,  yet  harmonious,  and  the  court  scenes  especially,  provided 
an  opportunity  for  striking  color  pictures. 

The  production  was  in  the  open  air  on  one  of  the  terraces  of  the  south  Campus,  and 
a  special  auditorium  in  the  form  of  an  amphitheatre  was  erected.  The  deep  stage,  which 
was  greensward,  included  a  large  portion  of  the  shaded  Campus,  and  made  possible  some 
very  effective  groupings,  particularly  in  the  woodland  scenes. 

The  production  attracted  wide  attention,  and  the  audiences  at  the  performances  were 
large,  although  threatening  weather  kept  away  many  who  had  signified  their  intention  of 
attending.  Representatives  of  many  colleges  and  schools  were  present,  and  several  English 
classes  made  arrangements  to  see  the  play.  P.  M.  H.

Utofta  Night 

Tufts  Night  was  conceived  by  President  Capen.  Acting  upon  his  suggestion  a  large 
mass  meeting  of  the  students  was  held  in  the  Gymnasium  on  the  evening  of  Monday, 
Sept.  26,  1898,  the  purpose  in  mind  being  to  supplant  the  usual  visitation  of  that  night  by  a 
more  legitimate  and  profitable  means  of  giving  vent  to  the  enthusiasm  and  zeal  of  the  under- 
graduates. It  was  the  direct  result  of  a  conference  of  the  captains  and  managers  of  the  teams 
held  at  the  house  of  President  Capen  the  previous  Thursday  evening. 

On  this  first  "Tufts  Night"  President  Capen  presided.  Among  the  speakers  were 
Dr.C.  M.  Iyudden,  '86,  and  Prof.  Arthur  W.  Peirce,  '82,  of  Dean  Academy.  During  the  evening 
there  was  frequent  cheering,  and  excellent  music  rendered  by  the  Glee  Club.  The  evening 
closed  with  the  singing  of  the  "  Brown  and  Blue."  Altogether  it  was  an  occasion  always  to 
be  remembered,  in  which  the  college  spirit  was  evoked  as  never  before,  and  an  admirable 
precedent  for  the  future  was  established.  As  an  immediate  result  of  the  spirit  of  this  first 
gathering,  appeared  our  beautiful  "  Alma  Mater,"  composed  by  Prof.  Leo  R.  Lewis,  '87, 
with  words  by  Prof.  David  L.  Maulsby,  '87. 

Since  then  "  Tufts  Night  "  has  been  a  yearly  event,  and  is  one  of  the  greatest  factors 
in  uniting  Tufts  men  in  closer  bonds.  Here  a  Freshman  obtains  his  first  conceptions  of  that 
Tufts  spirit  which  follows  him  through  life.  He  meets  his  fellow  students,  and  hears 
inspiring  speeches  of  "  old  grads  "  who  spread  the  honor  and  fame  of  Tufts.  Here,  too,  the 
bond  of  brotherliness  between  the  Alumni  and  undergraduates  is  strengthened.  To  every 
Tufts  man  present,  his  Alma  Mater  becomes  more  real  and  more  to  be  revered. 


TUFTS    NIGHT

QIuftH  Satuptrta 

One  of  the  results  of  "  Tufts  Night  "  was  the  establishment  of  the  yearly  football  and 
baseball  banquets  held  in  the  Gymnasium.  Tufts  Night  roused  the  feeling  that  perhaps  it 
might  be  well  after  some  athletic  victory,  for  the  students  and  Faculty  to  gather  together  in 
honor  of  the  event.  Tower  Cross  took  the  matter  in  hand  and  on  Tuesday,  Dec.  13,  1899, 
a  banquet  was  tendered  the  football  team.  It  marked  an  epoch  in  the  athletic  history 
of  Tufts. 

This  was  the  beginning,  but  the  next  two  years  failed  of  producing  any  results. 
However  in  the  year  1902-1903  another  banquet  was  held  in  the  Gymnasium  in  March,  1903. 
It  was  a  very  great  success,  bringing  forth  as  it  did  a  genuine  Tufts  spirit.  Since  then  these 
banquets  have  been  yearly  affairs.  In  1904  the  need  of  a  second  yearly  celebration  was  felt, 
and  the  result  was  the  holding  of  a  second  banquet  that  college  year  on  May  13,  1904. 

Now  it  has  become  customary  to  have  a  Tower  Cross  banquet  at  the  close  of  the  foot- 
ball season  in  honor  of  the  football  team,  and  a  second  in  the  spring,  tendered  to  the  baseball 
team.  At  these  meetings  men  from  preparatory  schools  who  have  been  invited  by  their 
friends,  have  been  given  an  insight  into  what  Tufts  means,  as  they  mingle  with  the 
enthusiastic  men  or  hear  loyal  speeches  from  Faculty  or  Alumni.  They  learn  to  know  what 
Tufts  could  mean  to  them  if  they  were  to  become  her  sons.

One  of  the  first  phrases  that  greets  a  Freshmen's  ear  is,  "  Let's  have  a  bubble."  He 
wonders  what  the  serious  upper-classman  can  mean,  until  he  is  initiated  and  takes  his  first 
drink  at  this  fountain  of  clear  water.  It  is  by  no  means  his  last,  for  he  ever  remembers  it, 
so  that  whenever  he  passes  the  old  Middle  Hall,  he  feels  it  his  sacred  duty  to  stop  a  moment, 
whether  he  goes  belated  to  a  class  or  must  run  for  his  car.  When  cold  winter  comes, 
causing  the  college  friend  to  retire  like  the  bear,  to  sleep  until  spring  fills  the  world,  great  is 
the  mourning.  Then  at  last  March  and  April  appear,  and  as  the  snows  melt  away  and  the 
frost  leaves  the  ground,  while  everything  thrills  with  expectancy  of  the  new  budding  life,  all 
passersby  eagerly  watch  for  the  first  drops  of  water  which  betoken  the  awakening  of  their 
unforgotten  friend. 

Once  the  college  pump  stood  here,  as  revered  by  the  men  of  the  "  palmy  days  "  as  its 
successor  is  by  those  of  the  present.  When  the  authorities  passed  sentence  of  death,  and 
the  pump  had  to  go,  it  was  not  without  protest  from  warm  partisans.  In  the  October  number 
of  the  Tuftonian  1901 ,  we  find  this  "  Prayer  of  the  Undergraduate  :  " 

"  In  sorrow  bowed,  "  Our  hearts  are  rent  ; 

With  hearts  bereft,  In  fear  we  cower 

We  thank  thee,  Lord,  Lest  they  should  take 

For  all  that's  left.  The  Chapel  Tower. 

"  They  took  the  pump,  "  We  humbly  ask 

We  meekly  sue  On  bended  knees 

They'll  take  the  swing  They'll  kindly  leave 

They  left  in  view.  A  few  old  trees."

The  date  of  November  2,  1907,  will  be  long  remembered  by  all  those  who  went  to 
Portland  with  the  team.  It  was  without  doubt  the  largest  crowd  that  has  ever  attended  a 
game  away  from  the  Hill.  About  three  hundred  fellows  went  down  on  the  Friday  night 
boat.  It  was  a  beautiful  evening,  with  the  sea  as  calm  as  the  proverbial  mill-pond,  and  the 
fellows  made  the  best  of  it.  The  Band  and  the  Glee  Club  gave  numerous  selections  in  the 
main  saloon,  and  cheering  was  constant. 

On  Saturday  night  a  heavy  swell  and  a  strong  south-east  wind  were  the  attractions. 
Scenes  of  excitement  were  on  every  side.  The  boat  rolled  and  tossed,  and  before  long  every 
one  was  seeking  some  point  of  equilibrium,  but  it  was  a  variable  quantity.  One  bold  seaman 
lashed  a  life-preserver  about  himself  and  calmly  lay  down  to  sleep  in  a  life  boat.  The  crash 
of  crockery  in  the  galley  was  constant.  The  rail  was  lined  with  those  admiring  (?)  the 
waves,  and  many  a  chalky  face  betrayed  the  toll  that  Father  Neptune  was  exacting. 

"Say,  Bill,  do  you  think  this  old  tub  will  ever  weather  the  storm  ?  "  was  heard  on 
every  side. 

Although  the  trip  was  tremendously  exciting,  not  a  man  would  have  missed  the  touch 
of  sea  life,  whether  sailor  or  no.  Contrary  to  the  expectation  of  many  the  gallant  vessel 
finally  docked,  with  three  feet  of  water  in  her,  and  a  tired  but  happy  crowd  left  her  for  terra 
firma  and  the'Hill.

The  greatest  interest  of  Saturday  morning  centered  at  the  Union  Station  upon  the 
arrival  of  the  Tufts  team  from  Boston  and  the  Bovvdoin  team  from  Brunswick.  By  12  o'clock 
the  crowds  of  Tufts  students  began  to  gather  at  the  station.  The  Boston  train  was  late  and 
did  not  arrive  until  12.45  so  tne  fellows  had  plenty  of  time  to  give  vent  to  their  feelings  in 
the  station. 

One  of  the  first  songs,  in  which  the  250  odd  students  joined  with  a  vim,  was  the 
"  Brown  and  Blue,"  which  rang  out  in  great  style.  Following  this  the  "  Campus  Song," 
and  a  number  of  others  followed  until  the  fellows  were  well-nigh  voiceless.  As  the  train 
appeared  a  line  was  formed  with  the  men  four  abreast,  and  the  band  ahead.  After  the 
train  came  to  a  stop  each  man  of  the  team  was  cheered  individually. 

After  the  players  passed  in  review  the  line  of  march  continued  through  Railroad  Square 
and  up  Congress  Street.  At  Vaughn  Street  the  band  struck  up,  and  the  long  line  of  college 
men  with  banners  waving  and  colors  flying,  took  up  the  strain.  People  flocked  to  windows 
and  sidewalks  and  a  royal  reception  was  accorded  the  fellows  all  the  way  to  Monument 
Square.  Upon  reaching  the  Square  the  men  circled  the  monument  and  went  to  the  Preble 
House  for  dinner. 

At  the  grounds  in  the  afternoon  the  immense  crowd  was  handled  in  fine  style,  and  the 
two  contingents  with  their  bands  were  as  interesting  to  the  Portland  folk  as  the  game  itself.

The  game  at  Portland  on  November  2,  1907,  well  repaid  the  supporters  who  accom- 
panied the  team.  Although  a  whole  section  of  the  bleachers  had  been  reserved  for  the 
Tufts  contingent  they  overflowed  into  the  neighboring  stands,  and  many  were  unable  to 
obtain  seats.  Under  the  leadership  of  the  Band  the  songs  were  effectively  rendered,  and  the 
cheering  was  especially  strong. 

With  such  backing  the  team  could  not  but  play  great  football.  Everyman  was  in  the 
game  from  start  to  finish,  and  the  final  score  of  19-2  shows  how  well  each  acquitted  himself. 
Although  Sheehy  and  Marr  were  disabled  to  some  extent  from  former  injuries  they  came 
through  the  game  in  great  shape.  The  delayed  pass  and  forward  pass  were  worked  consist- 
ently for  long  gains,  and  Captain  Green's  drop  kicking  was  a  feature. 

Between  the  halves  the  Tufts  and  Bowdoin  men  marched  around  the  field.  It  is 
worthy  of  note  that  although  the  game  was  in  Bowdoin's  territory  Tufts  brought  fully  as 
many  rooters  as  Bowdoin.  Before  the  second  half  ended  darkness  fell,  and  the  finish  could 
hardly  be  seen.  The  Tufts  rooters  formed  in  procession  after  the  game  and  marched  to 
the  boat. 

Ahead  were  two  men  bearing  a  large  Tufts  banner,  and  then  came  the  fellows  four 
abreast.  Hundred  of  people  gathered  on  the  sidewalks  to  watch  the  procession  ;  many  of 
the  men  carried  red  fire,  and  the  greatest  enthusiasm  prevailed.  At  Monument  Square  the 
men  were  cheered  individually  and  collectively.  Then  reforming,  the  line  marched  down 
Congress  Street  and  thence  to  the  boat.

News  of  the  splendid  victory  of  the  1906  baseball  team  over  Dartmouth  reached  the 
Hill  soon  after  the  game  was  over,  and  the  lusty  ringing  of  the  College  bell  warned  all  the 
good  people  of  Somerville  to  keep  a  close  watch  of  their  fences.  Soon  groups  of  hurrying 
Freshmen  could  be  seen  in  the  darkness,  and  now  and  then  the  crash  of  splintering  wood 
gave  token  that  some  fence  or  board  walk  had  been  torn  from  its  accustomed  place.  Rail- 
road ties  in  abundance  were  found  below  the  Hillside  station  and  carted  up  to  the  Hill 
manned  by  enthusiastic  Freshmen.  By  these  tactics  a  huge  pile  was  collected,  and  at  eleven 
o'clock  the  torch  was  applied.  As  the  flames  leaped  crackling  upward,  the  student  body 
cheered  the  team,  and  sang  and  danced  about  the  fire  until  the  flames  died  down.  The 
Rez,  too,  was  illuminated. 

After  the  fire  had  died  out,  all  hastened  to  their  rooms  and  donned  night-shirts  for  the 
traditional  night-shirt  parade.  Headed  by  the  band  the  students  marched  through  Medford 
cheering  and  singing.

THE  DARTMOUTH  BONFIRE

Nirluilaa  Suturr 

If  you  ask  Nicholas  Dwyer  a  casual  question,  he  will  entertain  you  as  long  as  you 
have  time  to  listen,  just  as  he  has  entertained  a  dozen  generations  of  Tufts  men. 

"  Yis,  sor,  I've  been  here  since  1863.  It  was  in  Dr.  Ballou's  time  whin  I  begun. 
Mr.  James  O.  Curtis,  of  Medford,  one  of  the  Trustees,  got  me  the  place.  I  used  to  do  work 
for  Mrs.  Ballou,  who  wasn't  very  smart.  Mary,  me  first  wife,  was  here  whin  I  came.  I 
married  her  in  January,  1864,  and  we  wint  to  live  in  the  basement  of  Middle  Hall,  that's 
now  the  Library. 

"  Ah,  what  foine  boys  I've  held  in  me  arrums  !  There  was  'Romy  Klinghammer  — 
he's  dead,  poor  fellow  !  An'  there  was  Clinton  Dolbear,  an'  Sam  Capen,  an'  Coleman 
Tousey- — all  foine  men.  Many's  the  time  I've  lifted  Sam  Capen  on  top  of  Jumbo,  in  the 
Museum,     Hah  !  he  could  lift  me  up  on  it,  now.     But  the  old  boys  have  all  gone  away. 

"Do  ye  remember  Lester  Fisher  ?  He  was  a  short,  thick-set  fellow,  an'  he  lost  his 
red  cat.  '  Nicholas,'  says  he,  '  I'll  give  ye  five  dollars  if  ye'll  find  me  red  cat  for  me.'  He'd 
married  a  wife  from  Longwood,  an'  she  was  that  fond  of  it  !  '  I'll  ask  the  neighbors,'  says  I, 
'  but  I  don't  want  your  five  dollars.  An'  I'll  give  you  five  dollars,'  says  I,  '  if  the  cat  ain't 
in  the  place  where  I'll  tell  ye.'  '  Where's  that  ?  '  says  he.  '  On  the  porch  of  the  very  house 
the  cat  lived  in,'  says  I. 

"  I  remembered  the  time  I  tuk  two  black  cats  from  one  house  to  another,  thinkin'  to 
get  rid  of  'em.  'Twas  two  black  cats  (an'  two  thiefs)  that  I  put  into  a  flour  bag  to  carry 
away,  an'  'twas  two  white  cats  that  I  dumped  out  agin

"  Well,  I  found  Mr.  Fisher's  cat  for  him,  an'  he  held  out  to  me  five  dollars  betune  his 
fingers.     Yis,  he  give  me  the  five  dollars,  indeed  he  did.     Ah,  he  was  a  foine  man  !  " 

Tufts  would  be  a  different  place  to  the  old  graduate,  in  the  absence  of  Nicholas  Dwyer. 
He  has  seen,  and  remembers,  many  vicissitudes  of  the  College  and  its  inhabitants.  He  him- 
self has  been  janitor  of  various  buildings — at  one  time  of  three  together.  Now  he  is  officially 
connected  with  the  chemical  laboratory,  where  he  is  as  much  a  characteristic  sight  of  the

Patrick  Byrne  has  spent  forty-six  of  his  eighty  years  in  working  faithfully  for  the 
College.  His  first  years  of  service  were  in  the  days  of  Thomas  A.  Goddard  and  Richard 
Frothingham,  when  it  was  not  uncommon  for  him  to  cash  a  check  from  the  treasurer  to  pay 
off  the  men  at  work  on  the  grounds,  or  take  an  order  byword  of  mouth  to  a  Boston  store  and 
bring  back  provisions  for  the  boarding  house,  then  in  the  present  Library  building.  In  the 
basement  of  this  building  Mary  Byrne  was  born,  oldest  child  of  the  six  granted  to  Patrick, 
and  the  first  child,  he  thinks,  born  upon  College  Hill.  Another  child,  a  son,  graduated  from 
Tufts  in  1894,  and  during  1905  and  1906  was  city  engineer  of  Medford. 

Patrick  is  a  familiar  figure  upon  College  Hill.  He  it  is  who  keeps  the  edges  of  the 
lawn  trimmed  in  summer  and  the  footpaths  shovelled  in  winter.  Rising  at  five,  he  is  at  Col- 
lege work  at  seven,  and  steadily  pursues  his  task  for  eight  hours  or  more,  in  warm  weather 
and  cold,  with  two  weeks  holidays  in  the  year.  In  the  early  days  the  lawns  had  to  be 
graded.     Professor  Bray  superintended  this  work,  and  Patrick  lowered  the  trees  from  the  old

to  the  new  level.  He  lowered  all  the  larger  trees  between  the  Chapel  and  East  Hall  on  the 
one  side,  and  between  the  Chapel  and  Miner  Hall  on  the  other,  without  losing  a  single  tree. 

"  Have  you  any  message  for  the  boys  ?  "  he  was  asked. 

After  a  pause  he  replied  with  a  smile:  "  The  boys  used  to  be  pretty  mischievous. 
Before  they  had  electric  cars  they  used  to  steal  the  horses  and  wagon  out  of  the  barn  and 
take  a  ride  sometimes  as  far  as  Newton.  I  was  tempted  to  take  the  nuts  off  the  wagon,  but 
I  never  did  it  for  fear  of  breaking  somebody's  arm,  though  I  have  taken  off  the  wheels. 
One  night  the  boys  tied  my  calf  to  the  bell-frame,  on  top  of  Ballou.  But  I  said  nothing  to 
anybody  —  just  led  the  creature  down  again.  I've  never  had  any  trouble  with  the  boys, 
and  they  have  always  treated  me  with  respect.     We  have  a  good  class  of  students  now." 

"  Have  you  anything  to  say  to  the  students  that  a  man  eighty  years  old  might  say  to 
young  men  ?  " 

"  Tell  them  to  be  trustworthy,  and  they  will  come  out  all  right." 

In  this  advice  Patrick  gives  the  guiding  principle  of  his  own  life.  His  trustworthiness 
has  been  recognized  by  all  who  have  had  relations  with  him.  A  good  many  years  ago,  when 
he  was  recovering  from  two  months  of  illness, —  almost  the  only  illness  he  has  ever  suffered 
—  Professor  Shipman  came  down  to  his  house  with  a  hundred  dollars  in  gold,  contributed  by 
Patrick's  friends,  for  fear  he  might  be  in  need  of  something. 

He  lives,  as  he  has  lived  for  many  years,  in  his  house  on  Stearns  Avenue,  contented 
with  his  lot,  and  enjoying  life,  a  useful  and  respected  member  of  the  human  family.
